in the Harry Potter world, in the same way that cosmetic surgery 
doesn't seem to exist anywhere. I don't think JKR thought out 
that one.

I questioned this (the cosmetic surgery part..) in my first post 
about Moody's nose and leg. I pointed out the bones growing back in 
Harry's arm in CoS. But a simpler example of cosmetic surgery in the 
HP world is Hermione's teeth in GoF. After she was restored to having 
human instead of rodent teeth - she had the nurse shorten them 
slightly to make her more attractive - wouldn't that constitute 
cosmetic surgery?
