HUNDREDS of Scottish men are going under the knife to lose their man breasts.
A total of 357 men have already had the procedure – known as a moob job – on the NHS to remove fat from their chest.

Experts predict the number of men opting for the operation will continue to soar in line with Scotland’s obesity crisis.

Mark Wallace, campaign director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, has criticised the practice.

He said: “At a time when the NHS is over-stretched we should question whether plastic surgery like this should be a priority.”

Unbelievable. These selfish, vain twits are using precious NHS funds to have this surgery while people country-wide are suffering due to NHS not prescribing certain drugs because they're too expensive etc.

Here's a message for any of these men - try a good diet and exercise.

AD ~1,

I totally agree with you.

If I grow,.......'Man Boobs' I am sure I will find a pretty Bra that suits them! :DD

And if we have our wanted baby , I maybe could find a way to get them flowing to help the babies growing and ease my wife's chore'in!

#1 AD: I doubt it's a drop in centre with a team hanging around waiting for lardies. The doctors who refer men for this procedure are surely misguided at best.
