Why is it ok to cut and scar yourself with plastic surgery but it is "wrong" to cut your body yourself with knives ?

Asked by partyrock (3870points) January 19th, 2012

I was talking to my friend about this the other day.

Why is it OK for someone to go under the knife, get horrible surgery, and continue cutting, tearing, and re-arranging their face ?

But if someone cuts themselves with a knife, they are quickly sent to a mental institution ?

Is it all for money, because doctors and hospitals make money from people’s insecurities ?

Why are people allowed to get so much surgery but it’s “wrong” for a person to be a cutter ? When it is somewhat almost the same thing ?
