Which type of service is more price elastic liposuction or open heart surgery?
Liposuction is more price elastic as it is not a necessary procedure and could be viewed as a luxury good. The fact that it is not a necessary item also means that the consumer can put it off or have the time to shop around for a better price. Open heart surgery is not price elastic to the consumer as it is necessary to save that person's life and thus they would be willing to pay almost any price to have that surgery.

What is the difference between open heart surgery and bi pass surgery?
The term "open heart surgery" is really used incorrectly. We use it to mean a surgery where the chest is cut open to get the heart. A "bypass surgery" is where they cut open your chest and reroute the large blood vessels (arteries) on the outside of the heart. We do wrongfully call Bypass Surgery a type of Open Heart Surgery. But I would call a real "open heart surgery" where they cut open the chest and then cut open the heart to work inside the heart, like replace valves.
