Male 'moob jobs' on the rise

February 3, 2010

Man boobs - or as we all like to call them 'moobs' - are a subject close to Guru's heart. Very close, in fact, bearing in mind Guru has his own impressive pair stuck firmly to his chest.

Yours Truly has blogged in the past about stats showing 'moob jobs' rocketing despite the recession, with men now far more body conscious and willing to do something about it. And the cosmetic surgery industry reports the number just keeps on rising.

A spokesman from the unintentionally funny and no pun intended, I'm sure, British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps) says men are feeling the pressure from men's magazines to look good.

Guru is sure there will be little sympathy among female disciples, as this is a pressure women have had to deal with for years. But if one of the blokes in the office disappears for a couple of weeks on unexplained leave, there's now a good chance he's getting his moobs dealt with.
