Has Simon Cowell got himself a new pair of boobs? Did Simon Cowell have a boob job? During a romantic 2006 vacation with girlfriend Terri Seymour, shirtless and shapeless Cowell looked like he needed to hit the gym. One year later, the American Idol judge sported a noticeably firmer physique while sunning himself in Barbados.

Could Cowell, a huge fan of tight shirts, have gone under the knife? Personally, I don’t think he has gone anywhere near a plastic surgery clinic, but according to the Star magazine, he had a male boob job.

“I think he did have a male boob job,” says Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Anthony Griffin, M.D. New York City-based plastic surgeon Yan Trokel, M.D., who, like Dr. Griffin, has not treated Simon, agrees, adding that the 48-year-old could have opted for a laser-assisted liposculpting procedure.

In both instances, a doctor makes a small incision and melts or removes the breast fat. Both processes take a few hours and cost up to $12,000! [source: Star]
