That's absolute true, but like plastic surgery, cosmetic genetics will be a byproduct of genetics for medical reasons.
I fail to see how you can only have the one without the other, you can just wait for 'designer eye colours' and other fashionable items such as the ultimate breast implant (simply encode for that perfect breast size) and so on...
