time for a boob job?

The medical term for it is gynecomastia--a word which describes the common condition where a man's pectoral region, for one reason or another, start to look like--well, breasts. Sound like someone you know? Not surprising, according to this web page run by Dr. Michael Bermant, which states that 40% to 60% of all men are gynecomastic to some degree. The cause may have been too much wacky tobaccy during those randy college days, or maybe the extra poundage you've put on over the past several years. Whatever the reason, this site provides some useful explanation of the condition and how liposuction can be used to spruce up your look (before-and-after photos are considerately included). While you probably won't be consulting the good Dr. Bermant in your quest for the new you, that shouldn't stop you from becoming a more informed candidate for cosmetic surgery. Plan ahead--those summer weekends will be here before you know it!
