She's only 31? Man, at what point do cosmetic surgeons feel guilty about continuing that mutilation?

Many surgeons justify their actions by reasoning that if they don’t perform the surgery, the dysmorphic patient will just go to sketchier and sketchier places until they get what they want, and end up getting infected etc. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about that reasoning.

It's the drug dealers' defense. Which has also been used for justifying the continued export of coal.

It kind of contrasts with the hypocratic oath, IMO.

Many surgeons are narcissistic sociopaths. They don’t care, they are champions in mental gymnastics to justify whatever they do.
