Abstract

Elective Surgery: Balancing Choice and Medical Necessity

James Watson*

This article delves into the realm of elective surgery, exploring its significance, considerations, and the delicate balance between patient choice and medical necessity. Elective surgery, often misunderstood as solely cosmetic, encompasses a wide range of procedures that individuals opt for to improve their quality of life, alleviate discomfort, or enhance their self-esteem. The article delves into the decision-making process, ethical considerations, risks, benefits, and the evolving landscape of elective surgery. By examining various perspectives, it becomes clear that elective surgery is a complex interplay of personal autonomy, medical expertise, and societal norms.
