Yep, I did. I’m a dumbass. :smack:

> What healthy bits do cosmetic surgeons cut off? You mean like nose job cartilage?

Nose and ear cartilage, bone from your chin or cheeks, healthy skin tissue, breast tissue, fat tissue, they’ll even insert foreign objects made of plastic into you to enhance parts of your body. If you want your testicle removed, I’d be willing to bet you could find a plastic surgeon willing to do it. Especially if he had ever been involved in oncology or hormonal medicine and had better feel for what the side effects of a surgery like this would be.
