Was just thinking about this again, these numbers are broken out by procedure not by individual. So if someone gets more than one surgery they would be counted twice in the total
So it may be the case that most men just get the breast reduction, and women are more likely to get multiple procedures. So the total ratio of individuals might be a bit closer than 15x, but yeah women definitely face way more pressure to undertake way more changes
99k vs 1.5 million is an insane difference!
I assumed there would be more women than men, but 15x more kind of surprised me.
