I agree- a wizard who is too paranoid to allow others to prepare his 
food and drink, probably wouldn't trust another to do cosmetic or 
reconstructive surgery on him.  (This makes me wonder what his 
reaction to being nursed by Madame Pomfrey will be- will he trust her 
since she works for Dumbledore? Would the real Moody have eaten and 
drunk the food at the teaches table? Depends on how much he trusts 
those associated with Dumbledore- It was, after all advantageous for 
Crouch to use Moody's known paranoia as cover for his actions.

I do like the Idea that some hexes are not reversible or curable tho- 
why else would there be a St. Mungos hospital for magical maladies?
