Because there’s not a fear of people going nuts and killing other people or themselves if their plastic surgery turns out badly, I suspect.
(Note that I’m not commenting on whether the fear is justified—I have a weak-to-moderate belief that it’s not, but it’s probably more of an issue of risk tolerance in most cases.)
Or because consuming “plastic surgery” is under the surveillance of a professional—a surgeon. Maybe if you had a psychiatrist watching over you every time you consumed a pill, the rules would be different.
Isn’t most plastic surgery done on an outpatient basis? As far as I know (which isn’t far), they send the patient home the same day, and expect them to monitor their own condition and seek help if they suspect an infection or other issue, which seems about equivalent to me.
