I don't think it's wrong, per se, but I think it can be done for the wrong reasons.
I work for a national chain that provides cosmetic surgery services (and other vanity services) to (mostly) men. And while I understand that the procedures makes these men feel better about themselves, personally I find them to be somewhat vain and silly. That's just my opinion, though, the necessity of these services varies with the importance an individual attaches to physical appearance.
