Would you put a person who gets a breast implant after radical mastectomy in the same category as one who implants purely to fill out her bikini? What about reductions to prevent or reduce back problems? Are they the same as pec implants for men? How does a gastric bypass compare to liposuction?
The question is more about elective surgeries - and I don't know the answer to how the distinction is made in countries with healthcare coverage. I'd actually like to kno. However, I seriously doubt you can just put your name on the boobjob list and wait in line for a porn career.

that's exactly what my point is. my sister's facial suturing was done by a top chinese cosmetic surgeon, but it was due to her being in a car accident that prompted the usage of a cosmetic surgeon.

Then how can you say, "No, they're not." and expect me or anyone else to accept that as anything but you pulling stuff out of thin air. You don't know nor have any place to back up your claim.
