I don't think those things are comparable. If a woman suddenly shows up with big breasts, everyone will know how it happened. If someone who had wrinkles and sagging skin shows up firm and smooth, everyone will know what happened. You don't need to ask.

Weight is different. Plus, 2/3 or more of the population is overweight or obese, so it is a problem that the majority of Americans struggle with. When you see someone who has apparently found a successful solution, I think it is natural to want to know what that solution is and if it could work for you. So I think asking in that situation is different than asking about a boob job.
