Agreed, regret rates don't seem to matter for other surgeries:
The percentage of patients reporting regret ranged from 0 to 47.1 % in breast reconstruction, 5.1-9.1 % in breast augmentation, and 10.82-33.3 % in body contouring. In other surgical subspecialties, 30 % of patients experience regret following prostatectomy and up to 19.5 % following bariatric surgery.

@StevenSaus @SecondUniverse add a quite high porcentage on a surgery in the ear to improve hearing that has been damage due to deterioration of the bone, exchanging it for a plastic piece. I was offered that surgery and almost took It, but the person Who recommended It (and, like, 4 more persons) discovered that the benefits last only for around 6 months and need to get It replaced to -maybe- get It working again. Dodged a bullet so hard.
