Many people have a very whitewashed view of surgery. For just plastic surgery, more people will see a beautiful celebrity than they will ever hear about pain, complications, scarring, botching, or disfiguration (in severe cases of addicts). For sex changes, there's a much larger list, yet similarly their focus is on idealized results.

Mhm, once you start paying attention you see how many drawbacks there are. The surgery doesn't even have to be botched. It's just a side effect of carving up your body. People think that the surgeon can just move parts around like playdough but then end up with severe nerve damage which can never be repaired.
