This does bring up some interesting ethical questions. But, like SusanC, I believe that those of us not having to face this issue (no pun intended) are not in a position to judge whether it's cosmetic or not. It's amazing that there is this option available, and it should be up to the person to choose whether or not they want to undergo such a serious surgery. There are people who don't even blink at having liposuction, and yet there is a risk of infection or even death with that kind of procedure.
