This really comes down to:
1)Whether or not you approve of plastic surgery
2) What kind of surgery it is (elective or necessary)
I'd totally support the book that talked about why mommy is getting an implant after having breast cancer or why dad is getting a new cheek after being in a car accident. I think that book could end up being important in order to explain that even though mommy or daddy was terribly hurt that didn't mean there wasn't hope for a normal life. It'd actually be quite nice.
If it's a book about mommy getting new double Ds? That's a bit more touchy. While I'm not totally against plastic surgery of that nature, I do realize that it communicates to a child a somewhat shallow message. I wouldn't get it for my offspring, but I wouldn't fight it being available.
