Is Plastic Surgery for a 7 yr old going too far?

I dunno . . . .I would hope that I could teach my child to be more mentally tough

Inherently, no.

But in this case, she looks terrible after the surgery.

 

We're talking about a girl here.

 

Circumcision...

 

Well it looks like they chopped off most of her hair for the surgery and hence, the awkward look. Surely they could have just tied it back right?

As far as the topic at hand, I feel like this example is in that gray area between a deformity and an unusually-shaped feature. I think most people would be fine with plastic surgery for deformed ears; however, for simply big ears... well, I think it would be healthier for the kid to learn to live with it. Though, this particular case seems to be somewhere in the middle, so I'll err on the side of not passing judgement.

 

You're never too young to have a nice rack.

 

in her case i dont think it is going to far - they were fixing an extremely abnormal pair of ears caused by medical problems/birth defects. it doesnt seem like it was medically necessary, but to me her situation is beyond superficial - those ears were messed up! its not like they were just a little big or stuck out a bit - they were all over the place.

and she seemed happy w/ the end result so good for her!

 

her ears didn't look that bad in the first place

 

I think some children would look more attractive if they had lipo.

 

yes they did.

 

My daughters friend had one when she was like 12 or 13 years old...Her ears were the issue as well...

I thought it was too young at that age, so 7 is definitely too young...

 

could have saved the money and just grown her hair out.

 

She's still ugly.

 

Wow. When trying to play your internet persona goes wrong.

 

Your kids are probably ugly too.... or they will be.

 

Hope you didn't pop a blood vessel coming up with that zinger.

 

Thank you for your concern, but you should probably save it for your ugly children.

Okay, leaving now! It's all yours!

 

I'm almost certain that you're one of biggest nerd bombers on this site. Keep up with your tired schtick, buddy.

 

I got no problem with it. Her ears were practically deformed before.
