英國美容整形外科醫生協會最近的一份報告稱，男士縮胸手術已經連續兩年成為英國美容整形行業增長最快的一個分支，去年的手術數量為581例，增長率高達80%。外科醫生們認為，促使男士們縮減胸圍的部分原因來自時尚雜志上猛男們的圖片，那些擁有完美身材的男模給了普通男士們很大壓力。另外，很多男性讀者們在看到媒體宣傳后才意識到，自己胸部肥胖的狀況是可以改變的。不過，醫生提醒，男性胸部肥碩的問題不一定要通過手術解決，減肥和健身等日常的鍛煉方式也可以達到目的。

Breast reduction for men is the fastest-growing part of the cosmetic surgery industry in Britain for the second year in a row, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons reports.

The organization saw an 80% increase in surgery to reduce the size of "moobs," from 323 in 2008 to 581 last year.

Much of the incentive comes from widespread attention to the oft-displayed physiques, obtained through non-surgical means, of such sports figures and actors as David Beckham and Matthew McConaughey.

"Many men are feeling the pressure from men's magazines that weren't even being published five or six years ago," says consultant plastic surgeon Rajiv Grover, a BAAPS official, the BBC reports.

"In addition, they are just realizing that they can get something done about it."

Grover also notes that men have alternatives to gynaecomastia, the official name for male breast reduction.

"Quite a few cases are caused by obesity," he says. "And we often say to men to look at their lifestyles before thinking about the scalpel."
