The demand for cosmetic surgery is also rising among men and especially between the Canterbury men who want to get rid of their man boobs. Due the obesity outbreak, there is a rise in such disorder.

An observation has shown that the number of men visiting surgeons for the purpose of breast reduction has risen over the years. The information was confirmed by the President of Christchurch plastic surgeon and New Zealand Association of Plastics Surgeons, Dr. Howard Klein.

This kind of change in the body is attributable to hormonally receptive chest tissues which start making breasts among men.

According to Dr. Howard Klein, the number of patients has increased from six in the year to fourfold now. He has further added that this abnormal growth could be due to the kind of food consumed by the people. Non- vegetarian food and taking of steroids could also surge up the growth.

The occurrence is more among the younger men and it could lay an impact on lives of the people by disturbing them socially or harming psychologically. Apart from the cosmetic surgery, growing number of men are also opting for eyelid surgery to prevent the look of sadness and tiredness.

A breast reduction surgery is expensive and can cost to the tune of $16,000.
