I was going to give an argument for why the line between cosmetic and reconstructive procedures blurs even with procedures like breast augmentation, but it would have been too explicit for here. Suffice it to say, the patient's view of what is disfiguring has to be taken into account. And I have see doctors turn away patients who they felt either didn't need the surgery they wanted or would have been harmed by it. Happens more often than people think.
