'''''Plastic Surgery Disasters''''' is the second full-length album released by [[punk rock]] band [[Dead Kennedys]]. Recorded in San Francisco during June 1982, it was produced by the band and  punk record producer [[Thom Wilson]], with [[Geza X]] getting a "special thanks" underneath the DK's/Wilson credit for additional production. (DK's guitarist [[East Bay Ray]] redundantly added his own name to the production credits on Manifesto reissues of the album.) The album is darker and more [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]]-influenced than their debut album ''[[Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables]]'' as a result of the band trying to expand on the sound and mood they had achieved with their 1980 single "[[Holiday in Cambodia]]".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/jello_biafra/|title=Jello Biafra - Songfacts Interview|access-date=2018-07-31}}</ref> It was the first full-length album to feature drummer [[D.H. Peligro]], and is frontman [[Jello Biafra]]'s favorite Dead Kennedys album.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/65349/interviews-jello-biafra-walks-us-through-his-entire-discography|title=Jello Biafra Walks Us Through his Entire Discography|access-date=2018-07-31}}</ref>

According to Jello Biafra, the main musical influences for the album were [[Bauhaus (band)|Bauhaus]], [[Les Baxter]] and [[the Groundhogs]].<ref>{{cite web|author1=Ray Flores|title=Jello Biafra|url=http://juicemagazine.com/home/jello-biafra/|publisher=Juice Magazine|page=52|date=1 July 2000|quote=Interviewer: "Who else influenced you?"
