QotD: Nip/Tuck
Have you ever had plastic or elective surgery? Did you tell anyone? Why or why not?

Yep -- at my parents' insistence, I had a bump on the right side of my nose removed when I was a teenager. It wasn't cancerous, but it was apparently felt that at some point long in the future, it could become so. I don't miss it, and I guess it was ultimately an improvement... though my nostrils are two different shapes now, which kind of drives me crazy.
I also had moles removed from my back for the same reason, which resulted in two gigantic keloids (scars). Whenever anybody asks about them (generally in an intimate context), I tell them they're a prison thing and I don't like to talk about it. Always good for a laugh.
