How do you feel about surgery?

How do you feel about surgery? Would you consider having surgery that isn't completely necessary, like plastic surgery?

The thing about surgery is... if I needed it, it doesn't really matter how I felt about it. I'd let them do whatever they wanted if it was necessary. I've had sudden hospital visits in the past and they always do what they can to make it as comfortable and quick as possible.

As for cosmetic surgery, I don't think it ever really needs doing unless there is a reason for it (i.e., somebody needs the treatment from an accident or to alleviate an existing issue) ... if it's purely for cosmetic reasons, let's be honest... it never looks right.

I hate hospitals etc but ultimately yeah James is right, if you need the surgery then it's just something that has to be done.
As for cosmetic/plastic surgery, nah even if I wanted something (which I don't it tends to look kinda awful) I still wouldn't get it, hospitals can FRICK OFF. It was hard enough getting pierced / tattooed and probably I wouldnt even do those again

Never needed surgery.. *touch wood* - I'm told I probably will on my knee at some point as I have a loose piece of cartilage or something, but while it's not causing me any pain or difficulties the doctors are happy enough to leave it.

Cosmetic surgery? Nah.. I don't really see the point

Scary for sure! I will likely need to have procedures for kidney stones, but my urologist only seems concerned if they get too big or obstruct anywhere. It's a chronic issue for me and will be for life.

I hate surgery and will avoid it if I need to! But if it has to be done, better knock me out first.

I'd have perhaps contemplated laser surgery on my eyes, but I'm not a suitable candidate for it due to having an astigmatism in both of them..

The alternative would be lens replacement, and that just freaks me out too much..
