Cosmetic procedures are of increasing interest to millennial men, a new industry report found.
Thirty one percent of men said they were extremely likely to consider a cosmetic procedure, either surgical or noninvasive, according to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Among that 31 percent, 58 percent were from 25 to 34 years old and 34 percent were aged 18 to 24 years. Both age ranges are members of the millennial generation.
The top reason cited by respondents pursuing cosmetic procedures to appear younger was wanting to feel better about themselves, followed by the desire to appear less tired or stressed, and then to please their partners. In the 25- to 34-year-old range, 42 percent cited wanting to remain competitive in their career as a reason to go under the knife.
The most common procedures for men are rhinoplasty (nose jobs), otoplasty (pinning back the ears), and treatment for gynecomastia (a surgery that reduces male breast size), according to Clyde H. Ishii, a surgeon and president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Part of the reason young men are increasingly interested in cosmetic procedures derives from social media, said Dr. Fred G. Fedok, president of the academy that conducted the survey. "People are more aware of their looks from different angles," he said. A growing interest in health and self-care also plays a part. "It's sort of like exercise," Fedok said about cosmetic procedures.
Apparently man boobs have gone out of fashion.

Were that true, circumcision would be an alternative to good hygiene. It is not. As long as you have good hygiene, you don't have knob cheese.
The real reason it became mainstream was because some wankers who didn't want people wanking decided that they should physically make it both less convenient (by having no "give" in the skin when not totally lubed up) and less enjoyable (by removing fairly nerve-dense bits of the cock). It also has the later side effect of exposing the bell end to sensations almost constantly - clothing, pubes - which desensitises it as the "there's something making contact" signal burns in and burns out, but I suspect that additional anti-sex bonus wasn't in Kellogg's mind when he forced his flakey religious beliefs upon that rationalism-forsaken country.
When I was typical US prick-hacking age, the child mutilation rate was about 95% amongst WASPs, there most certainly was a war against cocks. Even today, that rate is still apparently over 90%. Blacks and hispanics have got more sense, so the national statistic is lower, or course.
Aside - if anyone wants to feel good about their todger, I can highly recommend the "documentary" /Dick/. It's a useless documentary, it's just some women talking about fucksticks, but that is accompanied by so many stills of utterly horrible wangers, that you really will think you've got a masterpiece between your legs once you've seen it.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people; the smallest discuss themselves

Heh, if you're lucky. Well, most people are lucky compared to me. I'm not even cisgendered! However, I doubt the American Academy of Pediatrics has any desire to find out why I developed debilitating pain instead of numbness.
The whole this is massively disingenuous. Especially the part where justice is denied.
