The number of operations to deal with 'man boobs' has fallen by a fifth in the past year in the UK, data on cosmetic surgery suggests.

Meanwhile women had more procedures to inject fat than to remove it for the first time.

Eye lid surgery as well as face and neck-lift operations both soared in popularity in both sexes in 2012.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) said overall the number of procedures was stable.

There were 43,172 surgical procedures carried out by the BAAPS 230 surgeons last year.

There were 642 operations on moobs - man boobs - down 18% from 2011. Surgeons speculated that more people were heading back to the gym instead.
