My gf had breast implants when she was younger, but only because her chest cavity was sinking in and she needed the cosmetic upgrade to look like a "normal" young woman. What you're describing sounds superfluous. Did she tell you why she thinks this is necessary?

You're a couple. Express your concerns to her in an adult manner and have a discussion about it. If this escalates into more vanity down the road, it might be best to reconsider her as a partner if that is not your thing.

So ask her exactly that: "Why do you feel the need to alter your body?"

Then go from there, keeping in mind that in the end, it's her body and her decision.

I can see ugly people getting a total face reconstruction but that's about it. But a face reconstruction will set you back about 100 grand.

She's "bad news" because she wants plastic surgery?
Is what a bad sign?

Usually the reason people get plastic surgery is to snag a partner. If someone is sufficiently ugly and they have a lot of money they may want to know what its like to live the high life of having regular dates and sex and not being a leper. But the price tag is steep and the risks are high.

If someone already has a partner, what does that tell the partner ... that maybe they are trying to trade up?

Bad news if she's wanting superfluous surgeries for insignificant improvements. That can be a costly lifestyle if it is a regular habit. That's why it'd be "bad news" for me. I'm not sure that's the case, but if it is, I'd run. Additionally, I'm not real big on vanity. That could be a major personality conflict if OP is similar.

If she already has a really big butt as you've put it, her wanting to make it bigger doesn't sound like a mentally healthy view of her body image.

I would be more concerned that she has a condition like body dysmorphia. This sounds like those cases one hears about where a woman gets enormous breast implants. There's something psychological going on here with his girlfriend, and the OP needs to try to decide if he can handle it.
