Manchester man who hated his body pays £5k to have 'man boobs' removed

A young man from Manchester has shared his experience of what it was like getting his "man boobs" removed, which only developed after taking steroids.

Danny Smith, 27, began bodybuilding as a teenager and trained regularly to maintain his muscle mass. But he also took anabolic-androgenic steroids to increase the level of his weightlifting performance.

Things began to take a turn for the worse for Danny during lockdown, however, when gyms across the country closed. Because of this, he was unable to train and soon developed "man boobs", which he believes came about as a result of taking the steroids.
