If its really bothering him and as he has asked then the best thing to do would be to support him and at least talk to medical professionals to gather information for both you and him so you can make an informed choice of which way to go.

It depends whether they are really bad enough to warrant it? If they are then definitely do it.

I didn’t realise your ears reached full size by 5! How interesting

We live in a world where children getvso much information we need to help them make informed decisions

If the child feels it will help their self esteem I’d say go for it!

I’ve taught students who have had this procedure. I haven’t heard any negative outcomes. I seems to give the child better self esteem and often bullying stops.

Personally I feel l8ke it is too young.

If your son is unhappy and is being bullied because of it, it definitely needs serious consideration. And, I guess, the earlier the better to save him years of abuse.

If it is causing the child such difficulties then it should be considered

The earlier the better, you’d never regret it. Having sticky out ears would only bring a lifetime of misery and disrespect from others not to mention it makes hats harder to wear comfortably

I’d say go for it if it’s going to make your son more confident and boost his self esteem. It could be a life changing event.

If it makes your son happier and more comfortable I would let him have it done. He isnt asking for something superficial. I would make sure he knows exactly what is involved and discuss it in depth. If he still wants to go ahead then do it.

If my child was so upset about their ears and was getting bullied at school for it, I would consider getting the surgery done too. I would, of course, do all the research I can first and speak to a couple of professionals about it before making the decision though.

My parents were going to get my sisters ears pinned back but didn’t. My son copped a bit of teasing with his ears and it seems his son has the same ears. I dont see them as large so I guess it depends on the individual

I will just talk to him why he really need this.

If it bothered my children that much I would 100% get it done.

l personal Would get it done if your Boy has asked you just make sure the doctor you take him to explain’s everything to you and your son as he is old enough to understand what is being said . Other kids can be so Hurtful when they bully other kids You should help your son stop being bullied by these kids . But that is only my opinion what ever you choose to do is totally in your hands Good Luck with it all

If it had been an issue for my boys I would certainly have agreed for them to get it done. Kids get bullied enough at school and if there’s something that can be done to avoid it then I’d certainly go ahead. I was bullied at school for my height when I was 10 because I was as tall as the teachers. I was lucky to have quite a few friends who would help me to laugh it off, not like the kids have to put up with these days. So yes, I’d do anything for my kids to stop the bullies from picking on them.

I had big ears as a child and I hated it. Kids were laughing at me and being a girl it was hard. I was 9 when I got them fixed and definitely don’t regret it at all. The younger the better! It’s not too painful and I remember seeing my face for the first time after the surgery. I looked like a different person in a good way. If I had a child with big ears and was sad about that and wanted surgery I would definitely support it.

Very tough decision, but if it’s what he really wants, maybe put a time to think about it then if he still wants it done then I’d do it
