Well, you're right that you can loose essence and magic with the surgery.
But ANYONE can loose essence due to the surgery itself (ShadowTech, 6
first paragraph under Implntation and repair).

On the previous page (5) the last paragraph states "As physical integrety
is even more crucial for the magically active .. these characters must
spend essence and addto their Body Index when selecting bioware. ... The
essence cost for bioare is ewual to the Body Cost."

Loss of essence = lost of magic reating for a mage/magically active.
