In Delhi, at least, men seem willing to go the extra mile for their good looks: more and more men are getting cosmetic surgery. Delhi is leading the world in male cosmetic surgery with 30% of all procedures done on men. As basis for comparison, in the U.S. it is 20% men.

Men chose to get their noses fixed and correct minor scars, followed closely by breast reduction surgery and penis enlargement, while women opted for breast reshaping and augmentation, thigh and abdomen reshaping and nose jobs. Minor outpatient procedures such as botox injections, wrinkle fillers and thread lifts were not included in the study. “The only reason facial procedures don’t figure in the women’s list is because most people prefer non-invasive procedures like wrinkle fillers and botox to surgical facelifts,” says study author Dr Sunil Choudhury, consultant plastic surgeon at Max Healthcare.

Beats me why everyone is so hung up on the size of their body parts. Pun FULLY intended.
