I am getting male breast reduction. are there more mendoing this these days?

Gynaecomastia: In early adulthood some males develop prominent breasts like in a young girl called gynaecomastia though harmless due psychological reasons surgical reduction is done by removing excessive breast tissue.

Man boobs: Yes, this is not an uncommon operation for men these days. Some men develop them after using too many steroids or from being overweight or for hormonal reasons. Sometimes just fat needs to be suctioned out; other times actual breast tissue is removed through incisions around the nipple and sometimes skin needs to be tightened. The latter two leave some scars and can cause permanent numbness.

YES!: Yes, many men, just like you, are having male breast reduction. The american society for aesthetic plastic surgery reports that about 20, 000 men a year in the U.S. Have gynecomastia (male breast) reduction. It is the 4th most common procedure men have.

Yes.: Yes, men seem to be becoming more comfortable presenting to plastic surgeons offices to discuss their concerns. I have found that gynecomastia is often best treated with  partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue  as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area.  if the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue, then liposculpture surgery alone may suffice.
