So -- yeah, I just don't think a blanket statement like that is appropriate.

If you can't find cloths or are "too flat", that is because fashion is made for women with a special shape and for the male gaze. If women get boob jobs to look good, they aren't doing it for themselves, because no one wakes up and thinks they are too flat, unless someone told them so. We are told from the moment we are born that women need to have big and nicely shaped breasts. Of course a lot of women don't like their breasts. I don't like my breasts and all of my female friends also don't like theirs. I still need to find a woman who likes her breasts. Two friends and I think ours aren't shaped nicely enough and another one thinks she's too flat. One friend just started to cry in the dressing room because of how her breasts looked like in a dress she wanted to buy. Actually by the standards seen everywhere she's right, her and also my breasts are ugly. That's the truth, our breats are ugly compared to all the images you usually see. But this is not a reason to get surgery or to convince women getting surgery will change anything. There will always be a part of our bodies that "needs" modification, because we will never look as good as photoshoped people. Either we fight back and start telling people again that what counts are who we are as a person, or else we give up and create a world that is even more obsessed with the "perfect" body.
So no, no one gets a boob job for herself. Women get boob jobs because they can't stand how society is judging them for not being hot enough. If women lose a part of their own sexual pleasure and are willing to sacrifice it for the sake of looking hot for men and are even encouraged to do so, that says a lot of the society we live in.
Btw, reducing the size of your breasts for medical reasons is something entirely different, since it actually improves your health and is not cosmetic surgery anymore. Also, by reducing the size of your breasts, you're not losing the feeling in them, since only a little amount of tissue is removed. When getting a boob job, almost everything is removed and replaced by an implant, that is something totally different.
