Recently, someone put up a new ad on a billboard that asks drivers a simple question:
“Got man boobs?”
For those who do, they can visit the website manboobsMN.com (the creativity that must have required is awe-inspiring). That site sends you immediately to a page for what?
A plastic surgeon.
That in itself isn’t all that surprising. I imagine a lot of you figured out the answer on your own. What you might not have figured out is the specialty of “Dr. Joe” (and yes, the Welcome page shows his name in quotation marks):
Breast augmentation.
“By performing several hundred breast augmentations each year, ‘Dr. Joe’ has perfected his surgical technique to give his patients beautiful results and a much easier recovery. He speaks internationally on breast augmentation and has published in peer review journals on breast implants and breast augmentation.”
There’s also a list of other available services like facial fat grafting and eyelash growth. (Don’t ask me if he’s injecting saline or silicone into people’s eyelashes because I really don’t want to know.) Gynecomastia—male breasts reduction—is ninth on that list, so at least the billboard isn’t blatant false advertising, but seriously, if I’m a man whose boobs are too big, would I really want to consult a plastic surgeon who specializes in making them bigger?
