Eh...I'd want a lot more effort spent to ensure patients are given 100% accurate, fully informed information re: outcomes and upkeep, and give consent only after seriously weighing that, but I dunno about banning purely cosmetic surgery.

A) I like the idea that humans have the freedom to modify their own bodies in whatever ways they see fit, so long as they accept the risks and realistic outcomes, and B) Banning would just create more underground practices, which is particularly bad for patient safety.

    and give consent only after

    ...being deemed mentally stable.

    I'd go more mentally competent. Are you capable of understanding the risks and what the end state actually is? You've had some time after the doctor has demonstrably given you the whole set of information to make an informed decision? You still want to move forward? K, here's a surgery date.

    Might just be me, but mental stability has some slippery connotations (thinking about the history of the term hysteria, different forms of social stigma turned into pathology, etc.) But we could very well be talking about the same thing using a different word.
