From a conversation on irc...

To me all of the below are in some way the same sort of thing, although I didn't see it that way until Richard pointed it out a year or so back. It made me feel a lot less bitter at people who I don't see as overweight who still want to be thinner. I instinctively still find the cosmetic surgery more distasteful than most of the rest, and wonder if others feel the same.

NB More what you find acceptable in others than what you would consider doing yourself.

On the cosmetic surgery front, I mean the generic hollywood facelift style, not the kind you can get eg out of the NHS if you have something particularly abnormal about yourself.

Yes, I was certainly thinking of cosmetic surgery as being that for making something already fairly normal into a prettier version, rather than for correcting an abnormality such as a harelip or reconstructive surgery after an accident.
