Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | What kind of plastic surgery? In my opinion having a surgery is a very drastic way to fix this problem. I previously suggested anxiety meds. That would be so much less invasive and permanent than having an operation. I really think by taking something to have your husband in a better state of mind and much calmer, he wouldnt feel so lousy. Its worth a try.
