Re: 7 year old Child Gets Plastic Surgery to Avoid Bullies

I hated my ears as a child/teen and my mom always told me that I'd either grow in to them or I could have them pinned back when I was older. Her argument was that my head was still growing and she was right---my head is much more proportional to my ears today.

As for this little girl, as long as the doctors believe the pinning will be effective for the future (as in, her head isn't going to look exceptionally large next to her ears when she grows), I see nothing wrong with this.

Nothing wrong with it. I would do the same in a heart beat.

As someone who was taunted/bullied for most of her childhood for being different and whose parents did very little other than saying "Oh it will come back to haunt them someday...", if my child asked me to fix their ears, I would do it in a heartbeat as long as it did not have an effect on future growth.



I would do it for my child as well



I agree as well....

Re: 7 year old Child Gets Plastic Surgery to Avoid Bullies

I haven't read the responses on this thread but from what I saw what concerns me more is that it seems as though the mother implanted these thoughts into this child's head about her ears and it's like SHE wanted her to get it done more than anything.. THAT bothers me.. the mother seems to be doing a good job at giving this girl a vanity issue..

I have no issue with it. A kid I went to elementary school with had it done as well.

I don't see what the big deal is. Ear piercings, braces, etc. It's all cosmetic. I'm surprised this is news - I thought reconstructive ear surgery was pretty common in young children. Chat Icon



I totally agree.
