Would you get or have you gotten cosmetic surgery?

I recently found out that a friend of mine had had a boob job. She said, “you know they aren’t real, right?” I had no idea. I don’t know how to tell these things. Another friend is considering whether to get hers done.

Now my instinct is to say you shouldn’t mess with nature for a cosmetic purpose. It just means you are going along with someone else’s idea about how you should look. On the other hand, if you look more attractive, people respond to you better.

There are all kinds of cosmetic surgeries possible. If you have had surgery, what was your thinking that led you to the decision to do it? What factors did you consider and what were the deciding factors.

If you haven’t had it, would you consider it? Why? What would make you decide to do it? If you are male, and you lost your testicles for whatever reason, would you have prosthetic testicles put in?

I’m mostly interested in your thinking on the subject. The whys and wherefores.
