More people are getting plastic surgery for their pets, according to a recent report from ABC News .

One of the most popular surgeries, according to the report, is the installation of fake testicles for neutered dogs. Neuticals -- or bean-shaped silicone implants swapped in through a tiny scrotal slit during the neutering procedure -- have become very popular, according to the report .

If your pet's smile is a little drab, there are options to get him or her some doggie braces. Or maybe your puppy is just too wrinkly? There are also options to purchase them some Botox injections.

But the report also discusses pet plastic surgery that isn't just cosmetic. Some surgeries can help a dog breathe better or prevent skin infections.

What's your take on pet plastic surgery? Would you ever get fake testicles for your dog?
