You make a good point, so I wanted to check the numbers
Just pulled from wikipedia.
I then found a more detailed listing from “American Society for Plastic Surgeons” that says 2024 had about 28.5k (~26.5k from gyno surgery performed exclusively on males, and another 2k from “breast reduction”, the latter of which was also performed on 75k females)
Interestingly, an additional 91 males had breast implants removed, while over 1800 received them. I believe this figure represents pectoral implants (fake chest muscles) and is not related to top surgery for trans women.
Some other notable cosmetic surgeries for males in 2024: Liposuction (21k), rhinoplasty (7k), facelift (6k), tummy tuck (4k), cheek implants (2.3k) and chin augmentation (1.2k). 79 males received butt implants!
All in, 99k males in the US received cosmetic surgery in 2024, along with 1.5 million females
