David Beckham is envied by men around the world for his chiseled facial features, toned physique and ever-changing hairstyles.
But now men are paying thousands to have their nipples reconstructed to look more like the soccer star’s, top plastic surgeons have told DailyMail.com.
‘This is a thing, people want David Beckham’s nipples,’ said Dr Marc Everett, who runs a clinic on Manhattan, New York.
Dr Elie Levine, who also has a practice in the Upper East Side, said it was ‘definitely a growing trend’.
He is now carrying out around one procedure every two weeks, which involves extracting breast tissue from underneath the nipples and sewing them back up to give a smaller appearance.
The trend, they say, is being driven by a trend towards wearing more tight-fitting shirts, which make nipples appear more prominent.

Beckham, 48, has nipples that the experts described as ‘ideal’ — because of their small, almond shape and symmetry.
Dr Everett told DailyMail.com: ‘This is a thing. For example, a patient living in New York come to me on Friday… he said he always wanted his nipples to look like David Beckham’s.’
