Increased Trend in Male Breast Reduction

by Isabella on February 4, 2010

While women have been both enlarging and reducing their breast sizes for a while now, men have been slightly less reluctant to pursue breast reduction–until now.  While the increase has been mostly reported in the UK, cosmetic surgeons say that it’s a popular operation in the US as well.

According to NY Daily News, Dr. Robert Cattani, board member of the American Academy of Plastic Surgery, alone reported performing 200-300 breast reductions per year within the last five years. The UK has seen an 80% increase within the last year.

In the US, breast reduction ranks fourth among cosmetic surgeries in men; right behind: nose reshaping, eyelid surgery and liposuction.

Heidi Montag has been under much scrutiny lately after going under the knife for the third time. Her own co-star on the reality series, The Hills, was quoted by CNN saying, “I hope that girls don’t…look at the decisions that Heidi made, and think that’s normal.” Even plastic surgeons themselves are questioning the extent that Heidi went to.

It’s been estimated that Heidi has gone through 30 surgeries, 10 of which were performed in one day. She spent 3 days in a plastic surgery recovery center and almost two months at home according to RealityTVWorld.com. Despite claims that Heidi Montag could be “addicted to plastic surgery,” her own plastic surgeon said that he would never operate on anyone he suspected to have an addiction and that the media is the reason that she’s even being accused of an addiction.

Regardless of whether or not Heidi has an addiction, many feel she went a little overboard with her surgery. Her own excuse is that she’s trying to “remain competitive” in the industry. Who can really blame her?

I’d love to hear what you think in the comments below.
