Ainu to think that this is a form of child abuse

[Themotherofmonkeys]

A boy in ds class year 10 (who looks fine not ugly at all) has had 2 cosmetic surgeries at 15. Surely it can't be legal to have plastic surgery for purely cosmetic reasons at 15. I am also concerned about the boy promoting this. In fact I'm completely gobsmacked.

I've anaesthetised children around that age (well, hardly children at 15!) for cosmetic surgery. With jaws, mostly to correct misalignments - a large overbite or very protruding lower jaw can cause other problems which means they would be better corrected - although often not funded by the NHS if not bad enough. With noses, to correct deviated nasal septa giving rise to breathing problems.

Without a lot more information including access to clinic letters and details of exactly what was done, yabvu to equate this to child abuse.

My DS had his first plastic surgery at 15 months old! Pfft to the neglectful parents leaving it till 15 years, what are they thinking?

It's none of her business because she's not got all the facts, just third hand stories.
