Scots Men Get the Issue of Moobs Off Their Chests in Time for Summer - Male Surgery in Scotland Sees 80 Per Cent Growth
Date:6/17/2009

at divide between mockers and sympathisers of the affliction and highlighted the issue for men across Scotland and the kind of criticism they come under. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair and leader of the opposition David Cameron were both mocked in the tabloids last year for their appearance on summer holidays.

Even though celebs like James Corden have been known to laugh the matter off, the male body has come under increased scrutiny in the past couple of years with magazines like Glamour featuring regular segments such as 'guy without a shirt' and Heat magazine featuring 'torso of the week.' The focus on male celebrities and their physical flaws, particularly moob sufferers, has seemingly put the same pressure on the average man to look good as has been attributed to women for decades.

Although full Scottish breakfasts and Scotch pies may play a large part in boosting the male cup size, Shami Thomas said: "Even slim men can suffer from prominent 'man-breasts.' The condition, known as gynaecomastia, sees breast tissue grow due to a hormonal imbalance so it isn't necessarily related to obesity.

"Although there has been a negative fascination with 'moobs' in the media it has actually resulted in an increased awareness of the condition across Scotland. Scottish men are realising that they aren't living in isolation, this isn't a rare condition and there is a solution to their problem in gynoplasty surgery; a relatively simple cosmetic procedure."

Shami also revealed that workers of all ages are using their redundancy money for cosmetic surgery to help them compete in the shrinking jobs market and this will also have helped the surge in man boob removal surgery.

"The cosmetic surgery industry in Scotland doesn't seem to have been affected by recession. It seems that in times of economic hardship people still want to look good and are willing to sacrifice other luxuries to pay for it."
