Are these photos really of interest to anyone? I think for most people you can tell if they’ve had work done. I guess the elephant in the room is breast augmentation, but I think it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between natural and bolt-on.


Lot of the photos might show private parts, and I think people will feel violated when these are shared without their consent.


But is it enough that the company should worry? It’s not the Fappening. I just think so what, it’s tragic and Blackeye on the company, but it’s like stealing something with no value.


Should the celebs worry? Probably not. Should the company worry? Yes, they’ll have a name for that surgeon who leaks your medical documents and doesn’t really care enough to pay to keep your privacy. There are other good surgeons out there, probably right next door. Customers will be more likely to choose someone else.


Pretty sure the company makes money by people going to get plastic surgery. I'm not going to buy from a company where my private pictures are leaked. Reputation is valuable. The pictures might not be valuable to you, but a lot of people pay for "leaked" celebrity photos, of which the company has a lot of.
