I'm starting to think cosmetic surgery shouldn't be allowed unless it's for a medical purpose like restructuring someone's face after being assaulted or something.
Purely cosmetic surgery seems like it's simply immoral doctors preying on insecure women.
Eh...I'd want a lot more effort spent to ensure patients are given 100% accurate, fully informed information re: outcomes and upkeep, and give consent only after seriously weighing that, but I dunno about banning purely cosmetic surgery.
A) I like the idea that humans have the freedom to modify their own bodies in whatever ways they see fit, so long as they accept the risks and realistic outcomes, and B) Banning would just create more underground practices, which is particularly bad for patient safety.
I think mandatory warnings and better transparency should be enough. It's none of our business if someone wants to change their appearance, given that they're fully aware of the consequences.
And in this political climate, the government would deem transition surgeries to be "cosmetic" and "medically unnecessary".
The same can be said for tattoos and piercings.
A lot of the technical advancements in plastic surgery came about during and after WWI because of all the facial reconstruction of horribly wounded soldiers that had to be done. In that context, of course, it's a great thing, but it's a horror what it's turned into.
