I don't think plastic surgery is bad at all, so long as the person does it for themselves, not because of their SO's wants and whims, just to make THEM happy. Even non-surgical procedures, like Botox--if you (general you) wants to have it done, that's certainly the individual's perogative.
Let me use an example: I once dated a guy whose "thing" was long hair. And back then I did have long hair, probably down to the middle of my back. I cut it to about shoulder length--still long, IMO, and he had a freaking FIT. Saying I should have 'checked' with him first. Eh--NO, I don't think so. Obviously surgery's a little more extreme than a haircut, but the message is the same; the SO saying "I want to have control/input over how you look." That part of it is just NOT cool in my book.
Again, my co-worker has had self-image issues before she met her husband, so there you have it.
