Number of Men Seeking Male Breast Reduction Doubles

Record numbers of men are having cosmetic surgery to get rid of their 'man-boobs'. Is has been estimated that the number of men seeking male breast reduction surgery has doubled in the past year alone.

Gynecomastia, the medical term for male breast enlargement has seen a 44 percent rise in 2008 making it the fifth most popular cosmetic surgery treatment for men behind nose jobs, eyelid surgery, ear corrections and liposuction.

With the collective weight of the nation continuing to increase, it comes as no surprise that both male breast reduction and liposuction are some of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures for men.

However enlarge male breasts may not just be the by-product of being overweight. Many scientists believe that the number of men with 'man-boobs' is also due to the increasing amounts of the female hormone estrogen in the environment. Estrogen is seen in increasing amounts in our daily diets. Scientists believe that ingesting estrogen can cause a hormonal imbalance in some people and this can lead to the formation of surplus breast tissue.
