Ear Surgery large ears

He has large ears, even my parents make fun of him and call him Dumbo, I don't want him to grow up with a complex. I love him so much and I don't want him to have a tough time in school with mean kids. Is it bad of me to want surgery for him? He is 4 and I read that the best time for kids to get the surgery is between 3-5, the younger the better cuz the more natural the ears will look. I just don't want him to get bullied or be made fun of, his own grandparents do it, so what's to stop mean kids from doing it. Please give your opinion....no mean remarks please..

Thats so sad. I love my son so much too. We just want our kids to be happy, dont we? I would leave it for now. He may grow into his ears. You can always do it later. My daughter has a birthmark just below her right eyebrow. She is 12 and hates it. The kids say it looks like pudding. We keep her bangs long so it hides it some but she hates it so bad. I told her god made her that way and thats what makes her special from everyone else. She can remove it when shes older if she wants. I used to tell her when she was real young and noticed it that an angel kissed her when she was in my tummy. She believed it. Maybe you can tell your son that his ears look like that so he can hear things way better than anyone else. Maybe it will make it less painful for him. You can also leave his hair long to cover them. Good luck.

My ears stick out very far and are very large so i am planning on getting surgery. I was just wondering how long I would have to take off of work for. See the problem is i don't want anyone to know that I got the surgery. I was just wondering if there are any quick, easy procedures to pin the ears up. If theres not a quick way, Im only 17 and i work about 5 hours a day and its not very strenuous work so i was wondering how long i would need to be off my feet. thanks!

I HAD THIS DONE.... and I had them pinned back and I had a little bit of extra cartilage put in. The thing is you have a cast around your head (or at least I did for about a week) but, they may have improved the system since I had it done. I had it done 4 years ago and I am so glad that I did it. I am 17 too and I honestly say, take at least three days off. I know its a pain but you will need it. I remember how it kind of hurt and I could NOT sleep (even on medication) for the first few nights. It wore me out. Another thing is that it kind of leaks blood and fluids out of the cast, so you don't really want to display this in public, and they put this really greasy fluid in your hair to hold it back. I promise you, that you shouldn't go out in public for at least a weak. And besides, you don't want to catch an infection. If you are going to do, get it done right, its better to miss a week at once, than if you get your ears infected and have to miss off and on. I know what a pain it is to get your schedule changed, but you will be thankful that you did it. Good Luck and enjoy your new look!

i am really self-conscious of my ears, i think they are huge...I know they are bigger than a regular persons ears...but are they really big enough to need surgery? or am i just over reacting. everyone hates something about their face, i hate my ears and the mole next to my mouth. so do you think i should get my ears pinned, are they that bad? do they make me look ugly? and is there an easy and safe way to remove my mole? here are some pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/63572244@N03/
