Plastic Surgery For Children – On The Rise [POLL]
April 6, 2011 9:30 AM 
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more and more KIDS and TEENS are getting cosmetic surgery . . . and experts suggest a lot of it is a response to bullying.
In other words . . . if other kids won’t stop making fun of your kid’s nose, you get him a nose job. Or you get his ears pinned back, whatever.
In the past decade, cosmetic surgery for kids under 18 is up 30%. There’s no word on how much of that is directly related to bullying, but experts believe it’s the significant driving force behind the increase.
Extreme cases aside, is a nose job here and an ear pinning there any different than braces? With few exceptions, braces are considered cosmetic. Is pinning ears back no different?
