Darryn Lyons Plastic Surgery Boob Job Before and After Photos

He was showing the results off on British television this week after he appeared as a guest on Celebrity Big Brother.

Darryn Lyons underwent a plastic surgery procedure called abdominal etching (a type of body contouring), where liposuction is used to remove the fat in a pattern that is supposed to resemble ripped abs. While this procedure can help a very fit person look extra-lean, it makes a fat man, look ridiculous. Darryn’s etched abs have been compared to abs stenciled onto a barrel…and I think that’s a pretty accurate description!

Even more bizarre than Darryn Lyons's fake abs are his beliefs that they look awesome. Darryn is so pleased with the results of his abdominal etching, that he has invested in the company and is now co-director and the main investor in Body Contour.

“I had contouring done to my body,” paparazzo Lyons told My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding’s Paddy Doherty this week, taking off his shirt to reveal a set of washboard abs surrounded by, er, several pounds of flab. “Basically it’s the male version of a boob job,” said Lyons. “It’s the bees’ knees,” commented an impressed Doherty.

How might one replicate these bees’ knees? “That’ll cost you between £4,000 and £9,000,” says Marco Moraci, a cosmetic surgeon at the Harley medical group, who reckons Lyons underwent a procedure known as vaser liposuction.

The real question here, of course, is what it means for men and body image? The talk of the town has always been how women are made to feel insecure and inadequate when looking at film, television, ads and magazines. But those ridiculous 8-pack abs on male model front covers aren’t real either. They’re airbrushed to the horizon. Sometimes created from scratch.

So Darryn Lyons's procedure here is kind of like the real-life equivalent of photoshopping the merchandise. But the results leave a little to be desired.

Others have mentioned in the past the certain type of schadenfreude felt when it becomes obvious men suffer the same types of body image crises as women, but is this really something to be chuffed about? Or is it something that should be observed with a small degree of concern for those who feel this is even necessary?

What do you think of the male boob job?

Darryn Lyons getting fake abs was some of the most bizarre plastic surgery of all time. His ab implants are actually the same material as breast implants, but just eight of them. Why he couldn't just work out and get a six pack is a mystery. After all, it's not like breast size where you can work out and larger breasts. This pic shows Darryn Lyons after the ab implants...
