If you want to understand being "cisgender", all you've got to do is just be yourself. And by that, I mean I don't take any cross sex hormones, don't get cosmetic surgery and don't be delusional.

But what if you have a tattoo or green hair? You are non-binary then, and not cis! /s

Cis people get cosmetic surgery all the time, because it's usually about aesthetics and attractiveness, it's usually about "gender" when trans people get it.

For instance a cis man and woman's reason for fixing a weak chin are more or less the same reason, to be more attractive in general. A tran's person would see it as reaffirming their gender somehow.

Not sure whether cis women getting surgeries to enlarge their breasts would be seen as them wanting to "affirm their gender" or just make themselves more attractive as that gender.

Technically also if you apply that reasoning cis women are also doing it to affirm their gender ince it's about appearing more attractive, usually more feminine ?

If most straight guys find bigger better (or the woman believes that) then I think that would qualify as doing it to be more attractive.
