I'm inclined to agree with Lou on this one...we all have self-esteem issues to some extent, but it becomes a serious mental health issue when one resorts to self-mutalation, even if it's doctor-asstisted...it's important to note that they did exclude cancer survivors who needed reconstruction...I think this goes to the heart of those who think surgery at the skin level will cure what's wrong deeper inside...
