DAD BODS RULE

Men swap abs for flab

MEN are shunning plastic surgery as popularity of “dad bods” and “moobs” skyrockets.

Thousands of blokes are swapping abs for flab with liposuction procedures plummeting by 20%.

Tummy tucks are out of fashion – down by 12% – as meaty bellies are back on the menu and “moob jobs” fell by 65%.

Popular celebs James Corden, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel are among stars who have rocked the softer dad-bod physique, making it more fashionable.

And Hollywood heart-throbs Leonardo DiCaprio, 43, and 64-year-old Pierce Brosnan last year dropped their six-packs for a “beer belly”.

Selfie-obsessed blokes are instead now splashing the cash going under the knife for facial procedures.

Demand for eyelid and brow lift surgery has seen a sharp rise of 25% and 27%, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

And facelifts are also in vogue with 16% more operations. Consultant plastic surgeon Rajiv Grover said: “For men, the media’s adoption and celebration of the more natural looking ‘dad bod’ is possibly a driver in this trend.

“It shifts the focus to the face rather than the body – a shift that has lessened the pressure for a sculpted figure and instead allow roundness or softness.

“Society, unfortunately, has a history of being more forgiving towards men’s physiques than women’s.”
