Look at examples of surgeons that do breast reductions, not following a women's specifications and keeping them larger than requested "so the husband is happy"

That's assault. I'm sorry, but the few exception cases that happen doesn't mean that it's standard practice to be cavalier like this. I actually work with surgeons for a living. Every surgeon I've worked with is too afraid to even touch an unrelated skin tag if it's not mentioned on the consent, let alone blatantly going against their wishes for a breast reduction.

The U.S. is faaaaar too sue-happy for docs to be cavalier like this. I honestly feel like you guys are just bringing up old wives' tales. (again, noting that this has probably happened at some point in history, but in comparison to the tens of thousands of surgeries a year, this is beyond an exception of a fraction.
