I guess I don't get these analogies to cosmetic surgery. Yes, bith are elective but I think they fall under completely different scopes.
Two years ago I had my
tonsils removed which was elective. My father had elective knee surgery.
What about women who get breast reduction to prevent later back problems?
(Other than how sad it may make some of us.)
I just think people are missing the connection between elective and cosmetic.
