My friend has braces and is totally against plastic surgery, but I don't understand how it's any different. You're still using something mechanical etc., to alter your physical appearance.

In the same way is stuffing your bra is not Plastic surgery even though "You're still using something mechanical etc., to alter your physical appearance".

Body modification procedures aren't exclusively used for the purpose of altering ones' appearance. Many times, it is also done to correct anomalies, abnormalities, or structural maladies that can have a physical or physiological detrement to an individual's health.

Way to take a statement and run with it. The OP was obviously trying to say that the friend is against cosmetic plastic surgery
