I'm new too, Hi!

Don't know if there's enough info in canon to answer whether things 
have to be taken care of in a certain amount of time, but I've 
gotten the impression from descriptions Moody's character that he 
actually wears his scars and disabilities as a badge of honour. No 
doubt the leg could be an inconvenience at times, yet perhaps there 
exists some simple charm, or inherent quality in the leg itself that 
makes it act almost like a normal leg. 

His magical eye is obviously eminently useful for someone in his 
profession, so I can't imagine him wanting to grow a new eye. During 
the scene of Moody's arrival with the advance guard to pick up Harry 
at the beginning of OotP, and then again on the very last page of 
the same book, Moody seems very comfortable with every aspect of his 
appearance, and even finds his sinister aspect and eye useful for 
intimidating Vernon Dursley.

Despite his now overwhelming paranoia, he's still considered one of 
the greatest Aurors ever, and the more battle hardened he looks, the 
more fearsome his reputation perhaps, and that could be considered 
another layer of protection, something he would consider more 
valuable than his looks. In any case, when there exist spells for 
the alteration of one's appearance he shouldn't need to be too 
worried about what he looks like, as long as he still functions.
