The act itself is neither inherently right nor wrong. It's all about the motives. Too often I see it done out of low self esteem or body image issues that would be better addressed by counseling.
Aside from reconstruction, I can count on one hand the number of women I've seen who looked better after breast implants, whether in porn, real life, or browsing through thousands of pictures in surgeons' portfolios when I've had this discussion in the past. On top of that, they just feel weird. On the other hand, there are people who have worked hard to get into shape and can't do anything about that extra bit of skin or that stubborn area of fat that exercise just won't take care of. There are plenty of people who get botox or a facelift to reverse aging and know when to stop.
