Scoliosis surgery is a primarily indicated for cosmetic improvement of spinal deformity and not medically necessary. While surgical techniques and hardware have improved greatly in the past several decades, recent research suggests it is still fraught with poor long-term outcomes and chronic pain syndromes. Each patient must carefully weigh the cost/benefit ratio before undergoing any surgical procedure, but particularly one as invasive as multiple level spinal fusion surgery.

You should talk to a doctor or surgeon about this.
