I believe cosmetic surgery can definitely be overdone(think watermelon sized breasts for example) I think a lot of people are thinking that insecurity is no reason to have surgery, I disagree. If someone truly feels poorly about themselves because of too-small or lop-sided breasts, gigantic moles or horrible scars, extra skin, fat pockets etc, I don't see a problem with them repairing those issues if they can manage to afford it. Who am I to stop them from feeling better? I bet it is in many cases more effective and cheaper than longterm psychotherapy.
A note about the dog surgery: I know someone who worked in a vet clinic, often owners would have testicular implants put in after sterilization surgery because they were show dogs and needed to be "intact". I believe it is typically done at the same time as the neutering so as to not require additional surgery. They also have the surgeries for the ears to make them perky, tail docking and dewclaw removal, none of which are necessary for life. I am sure there are probably other surgeries that I don't know of. I think it is a bit ridiculous personally, but I am not involved in showing or breeding dogs.
