The notion that all non-medically necessary surgeries should be illegal seems absurd to me. If a breast augmentation, tummy tuck or gender reassignment surgery helps you to enjoy your life and feel right in your body, I don't see the harm. I'm not sure that medical insurance needs to pay for it, but if someone has the funds and feels strongly about it, then I say go for it. How is it different from the mother of 5 kids with leftover skin getting a tummy tuck? -Rachael in Corvallis
