We prove an equivariant version of the Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture for strongly invertible knots. Our proof combines a recent result of Hanselman with the Khovanov multicurve invariants Kh~ and BN~. We apply the same techniques to reprove a result of... Read More about Cosmetic operations and Khovanov multicurves.
