so i've seen a lot of people talk about surgeries, mostly genital or boob area. i'd like to comment:

i think it's not a good idea. at least it's not as good an idea as people generally think. it does not just change your looks. it also changes the tissue, and that matters.

as an example, some women do plastic surgery to get larger boobs, but i'm quite sure that this erases a large part of the nervous tissue in the boobs, so the plastic essentially doesn't feel anything, so i doubt that it would feel good to get them touched and stimulated by someone you like.

the same is true with the penis, which is not just a form factor, but also contains a lot of nervous tissue, and i'm quite sure that it would be significantly more difficult to get an orgasm without that nervous tissue. this is just something to beware. i'm not an expert on plastic surgeries, but this much seems rather straightforward to argue to me.

not sure what you're on about? one of the main parts of a vaginoplasty/vulvoplasty is rearranging the nerves (and other tissue) of the glans penis into a clitoris. even in the case of a nulloplasty, the nerves generally get moved to a little lump under the skin which ends up functioning similarly to a clitoris.

as for boobs, the only references i've seen lately to that were wrt boob reduction as an alternative to SERMs for non-binary feminization without breasts. notably, this consists mainly of just discarding a bunch of fat tissue. and from the multiple women i've spoken to irl about their experience with breast implants, if they did experience any reduction in sensitivity, certainly none of them found it noteworthy enough to mention.
