Your/my body, your/my choice. People need to stop judging/comparing themselves or try to stop bodily autonomy choices on other's behalf.
Or to be trite, to each their own. What he/she/it/they do with their bodies is this own violation.
It's totally anyone's choice, but it makes me sad that some people are so unhappy with their bodies and i think it often has much more to do with meeting a stereotype or perceived norm or beauty than with the actual body. Obviously many people have serious issues that impair function and the opportunity to increase independence is huge. For those who are chasing something else, that may be more internal than external, what happens when they augment and have the same (or more) problems?
