If someone's clinically depressed the chances are that surgery won't help them in the long run. It's like obese people who think that getting a gastric band will make them slim and consequently their life will be better. It won't be. Your life will be the same because you'll be the same person with the same problems but you'll be thinner. Similarly with breast implants; sewing little bags of silicon into your body will not help your long-term mental illness, you will be the same person with the same problems but with bigger tits. If therapy hasn't worked, it's the wrong therapy or the wrong therapist.

People who have much bigger problems than self-image benefit from psychiatric help rather than invasive surgery.
