My baby doesnt need ear surgery
My second baby was born with a pointed right ear. To me, it’s not very obvious. During CNY, some relatives commented on his odd shaped ear and told me i can have the condition corrected by ear surgery, also known as otoplasty. Reason being to spare him from being ridiculed in school next time. Give me a break. Only nosy people who has nothing better to do will pin-point and suggest such a thing.
Now, why would i want to subject my young baby to such a procedure. It’s not that his ears are huge like an elephant’s or Mickey Mouse’s. If it’s like that, i might consider. But then it’s not. I dont think he’ll get ridiculed in school next time just because of that slightly pointed ear. To me, that’s more like an identity rather than a birth defect.
