Seriously it is better in the mind to be able to accept a bit of height disability, hair loss, hearing impairment, etc than to get medical procedures for cosmetic reasons. I know of two women dying after complications from medical surgeries for cosmetic reasons - it's not worth it.
Some other aspects can be "cured" by serious lifestyle changes, eg. Type 2 diabetes and cutting out all added sugar and processed foods. Maybe not always, but it is better to try that than popping a pill and thinking all is good.
Elaborate on this? Brest implants gone wrong?
One was liposuction done by a military hospital with complications a week later, can't recall exactly what the details of the other one was now. But neither went in for some life-saving requirement.
