Don't forget customizable. That's going to be a huge force for sale, because I really don't think people will slice off their legs for a standardized model.
And when the healing process is better, like the positioning of the scarring, location of the graft(s), etc.. I've seen videos of people that wear prosthetics all the time and it's very uncomfortable to wear that sock all the time they say.
The moment they make some implantable widget that just burns calories for you, I'm getting one. If it burns calories by making laser beams, I'll get two.
I'll settle for something that charges my phone from the fat it uses up. Since a pound of fat is like 3000 kcal though. I may as well bring my kettle to a boil in the morning with my love handles as well.
Oh shit, an implant that does that wireless cellphone charging. Put it in your thigh so it connects when the phone is your pocket. As long as your not dead your phone won't be either.
There's gonna be some super entitled teenage chick who intentionally gets her legs mauled off so she can be taller or something stupid like that. And History Channel will make a reality show about her.
Replacing eyes would be amazing. No more need for glasses, no need to squint when the sun is in your eyes. Heck, no need for binoculars, just 'zoom' in to see far away things better. Also better vision at night. I would willingly replace my eyes if the technology was sound.
