Man Boobs

This is freaking embarassing. A man with boobs! Yeah you've seen it from the photo above. there's no reason to rate my photo X since the owner of that boobs is a man hehe. Meet Lee Jardine 24, with a D cup bra size. He has developed this condition at age 13. This should not be a laughing matter since this abnormality, which in medical terms is called gynaecomastia, is common to 1 out of 3 men in the UK. This condition should be blamed to poor diets and lifestyle. But Lee Jardines' case is due to excessive female hormones.

This conditions has tormented him from his puberty until he was a grown up man. This has affected his relationships and this is also the reason why he had few girlfriends. But in 2003, he met Diane, his wife now. Though they have a great sex life, still his self esteem is down as ever because of his moobs. This even worsened when he had a son and of course some activities wherein he needs to take off his shirt like swimming just won't allow him. With this, he decided to undergo a surgery. But his primary care trust refused to fund the operation which can cost up to £4,800.

With no job and a baby, he could not afford the cost of surgery. But good thing that after being covered by the sun, his long lost aunt, Elaine volunteered to fund his surgery. Lee underwent surgery at St John & St Elizabeth in West London. After 2 hours in the operating room, he was flat as a pancake. Below is his photo after the operation.
