Q: big ear sugery
asked by: jeni262 on February 29th, 2008

Hello, i'm Jeni. I'm 13 and 14 in 8 months.
I hate my ears. They stickout and its so unatractive Embarassed Embarassed . I really want them pinned back but im scared of the risks that could happen afterwards. Ever since i was about 8 ive wanted them pinned back because im so self-conious about them. My mom and Dad say there fine but deep down i know there not. I just wish i had normal ears, so i could tie my hair up and feel more confident about myself. Please can someone give me advice on the effects of having ear sugery and how long do i have to wait befor i can have the opperation done ?
thankyou very much

Hey sweet girl, I know you feel like Dumbo, but this has to be a decision that your parents will agree upon, without their consent, there is nothing you can do. I know of several young people (12 years old) to be exact, who went and had their ears pinned. They have had no problems from having it done. In fact, they did feel better about themselves and their grades and self esteem went up! this is not a cheap surgery, and its permanent. I would say if this is something you really really want, set them down and tell them how you feel. Then, if they do not agree, wear your hang long until you are of age, save the $ and have it done yourself! Good luck sweetie! HUGS

I had big ears all through school and used to tie my hair over them so only the lobes would show, but my head got bigger and by the time I got to 18/19 they seemed to have shrunk (or my head caught up with them, I don't know which). I would give it a few years as they may have had a growth spurt early (sounds weird, but body parts do that sometimes). In the meantime, start saving up the money for surgery later in case you still want it and if you no longer need it by that point, you will have a ton of money to spend on something else. By that point your parents won't have any say over it anyway!

School is crap for everyone anyway - if you don't have big ear, you have acne, if you don't have acne you have braces, if you don't have braces you have glasses, if you don't have glasses you're overweight. Is a generally rubbish time for anyone to go through! I look back now and I'm glad I don't have to go through it ever again - but at least we were all spotty, greasy, hormonal, insecure mutants together and you know at least you will grow out of it or have money to change it later on!

I should also add that at least you're not a teenage guy having random erections in front of the class or having your voice break suddenly!
