Should I let my daughther have plastic surgery?
—UNknOWn— asked:
My daughther is 11 years old a couple days ago she asked me if she could have plastic surgery. I dont’ know why she want to and she won’t tell me why when i asked her. Does anyone know why she wants it or if I should let her?
Are you serious? Most plastic surgeons won’t even consider operating on a child under 16 (even with the parental consent necessary for minors under 18) unless there is a medical problem involved. So the answer is NO. Your 11 yr. old daughter should not have plastic surgery.
She is probably uncomfortable with herself. Feeling as though she isn’t as pretty as everyone on tv and on the magazines. No it isn’t wise whatsoever to let her get plastic surgery.
Unless there is a serious problem you should make her wait until she is at least 16. Because between now and then she will change naturally.
OMG! I’m 12 years old and I think that 11 years old is WAY 2 young! Why would she want plastic surgery anyway? She isn’t even fully grown yet! I think she should wait ’til she’s at least 20 or so! But of course, I’m only 12 so take my advice or not, that’s wat I think.
Plastic surgery for what?? Your crazy to even consider it! She is way to young for plastic surgery she hasnt even grown into her body yet.
No. Tell her that people aren’t all supposed to look alike and tell her about all of the neat things about her and why she is beautiful the way she is. And stop letter her watch so much TV that is not created for children. I had an eating disorder, I know what she is thinking. Have her make a list of things that she likes about herself so that you can remind her why she is pretty.
PS-She’s eleven. Don’t let her make life-altering decisions on her own when she is still wondering why A=14+C.
No I wouldnt let my child have plastic surgery especially at 11 years old. She probably is frustrated with something on her body and thinks that surgery is the only way to fix it, when in reality if you talk to her you may make her feel better about herself. I went through a phase like that when I felt like nothing could help except just “going under the knife”.
Hum… NO!!!! Unless it is a serious deformity, it should wait til at least 18, because she isn’t fully grown and developed. You never know, she might learn to love what she wants fixed now.
If you don’t know why, then how are we expected to know?!
And NO! You should definitely not let her. Instead sit down and talk to her. Make sure you are building up her self-esteem. She’s starting to become a young women. It’s a difficult time in any girls life and she needs all the help and support she can get. You need to make sure that she loves herself the way she is.
Also, I wouldn’t trust any doctor who would even consider doing plastic surgery on a child that has no physical problems that are preventing them from living a normal life.-
no.. do not let her get plastic surgery. her body isn’t anywhere near fully developed and it will cause more damage than it will good. if she’s 11, she’s insecure and going through puberty, and she’ll be insecure until she is out of high school. don’t do it. the only plastic surgery i’d say would be ok would be to get a mole or birthmark removed. ask her pediatrician of their opinion. she’s too young.
this is a joke right?
I dont think a doctor would perform plastic surgery on a patient who is younger than 18 because there body still has so many changes to go through. Not unless it was absolutly neccessary. So YOU really dont have a choice. She has probably asked because someone has made her feel uncomfortable about her looks. But you will have to talk to her to find out whats really going on.
no… shes only young she doesnt need that at least not until shes a little older
Definately Not.If She Is Only 11 Years Old.No. If I Had A Daughter I Couldn’t Imagine Ever Getting Her Plastic Surgery.It’s Ridiculous.
Hell no! She is too young and her body is still growing!
1) what the surgeon does can be undone naturally because she is still growing
2) detramental to her health
3) you are teaching her at a young age if she hates her looks she can have plastic surgery! Make her happy with what God gave her!
At 11 her body is still changing and chance are even if she has plastic surgery now that after the surgery her body will still be changing and not look how she expected it to. Unless there is something wrong with her then she should wait until she is through developing.
Yea! just let her go and have surgery…u stupid…&^%%^!
If you do you’re a total clown. In fact, just ASKING that tells me how moronic you are.
Plastic surgery at 11? That’s crazy. She hasn’t stopped growing and turning into who she will be. Don’t let her have it, she doesn’t know who she is yet. She probably wants it because that’s what everyone wants or she doesn’t like something about herself right now. Explain to her that when she gets older if she still wants it she should look into it then and be happy with herself as she is now.
i think someone told your daughter something bad about her sit down and talk to her about it privetly and tell her that your beutiful the way you look and if someone doesnt appreciate it tell them that she loves herself just the way she is
gosh no! if she’s 11 she hasn’t even grown up yet and isn’t matured enough to know what she’ll really look like, she probably feels insecure if she’s just entered junior hight which is always scary but you should tell her that most girls really mature in their face in the summer between 7th and 8th grade. if she’s really set on the plasitc surgery let her like try some makeup but just lip gloss or mascara.
Are you crazy, she is 11!!! No, don’t let her!
you’re kidding, right? no parent can be this dumb.
i am 11 aswell and i guess at this age we all look at our imperfections more and study them and want 2 “look perfect”..in my mind what through is that i want plastic surgery when i’m older but if i even asked my mum shes flip lol i certainly wouldnt let an 11 yr old do it..but help her realise that she is pretty..maye allow her some simple make up…but tell her that at this age everyone thinks they need surgery someplace or other and when she grows a little older shell look fantastic…=)
u could show her some pix of celebs that have gone from lil girl with bent teeth 2 gawgus superstara eg.
hilary duff young:
hilary duff older:
…hope that helps…
Is this really the mom asking this question?
Answer? No!!! Although……
You did not tell us what kind of surgery and on what. Is it an ugly mole? I had one on my upper lip and my parents refused to have it removed. It caused me a lot of grief until I could pay for the simple surgery myself.
How can we answer a question so vague? Go and talk to your daughter. Rebuild your relationship so she can really talk to you.
absoulutly not! unless you think it’s a problem. if it’s something minor, tell her when shes older. ask her what she wants and research the surgery. she may want it bcuz she feels like shes not pretty, or maybe she just has low self confidence, so what you should do for that is look through fashion magazines for things you could do to look better, or look online.
11 years old?? i dont even think they do plastic surgery on 11 year olds!! NOOOO WAYYY DONT LET HER
NO!!!!! SHE’S WAY TOO YOUNG I DONT KNOW WHY SHE WOULD WANT IT ANYWAYS AND I DONT KNOW WHY YOU WOULD EVEN ASK US YOU SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER ALREADY
You actually felt the need to ask total strangers for advice on this most obvious of parenting questions? If you allow your child to get plastic surgery at 11 years old, you should have your parental rights terminated. That’s like allowing an 11 year old to get tattooed.
I think you should talk to her and try to find out why she wants surgery. I also think that maybe a psychological therapy would be better for her if she feels bad about herself. And I don’t know if there are doctors who would perform a plastic surgery on such a young girl, it sounds unethical.
You. fucking. retard. That’s all I have to say if you are actually considering it. Dumbass.
Why would you ask strangers if you should let your 11 yr old have plastic surgery? Are you a responsible adult who wants her daughter to feel happy with herself,or do you want her to think it’s ok to feel shallow & insecure? You need help if you let her!!!!!!
Never! an eleven year old girl should never ever get plastic surgery unless its life threatening. And even when shes sixteen if she still lives in your house and you don’t like the sound of it, don’t let her!
NO WAY!!!
shes still growing!
let her become about 18 when shes fully grown
…im sorry but i cannot believe u even asked that question…
No! As the first poster said, most plastic surgeons won’t consider dong it on a child, let alone the ramifications it could have on her self-esteem and image.
Sit her down and talk with her. Ask her why she wants plastic surgery–if it’s something development related (breast augmentation, ect.) tell her that it takes time for her body to grow. IF she wants something like a nose job, tell her about Barbera Streisand, where it has been said that if she did have a nose job, she wouldn’t have been as famous as she is today. Make sure you bring up Cindy Crawford and her now-signature beauty spot.
if u have 60 thousand dollas then no and plus if u said yes u r a sick mom
self esteem issues probably. get her a therapist, not a surgeon. recovery from surgery takes months and she’ll be super tired and feel like crap the whole time.
also, try to brush up on your parenting skills. there’s something wrong with you if you’d actually consider letting your kid have plastic surgery for no reason.
the only way a reputable plastic surgeon would consider surgery on a minor is a extreme case and certainly not for vanity’s sake.
She probably thinks that shes not pretty. Although you might think she is, she doesn’t. What you should do is sit her down and just tell her how beautiful she is in and out. No, I do not think you should let her get plastic surgery. Her skin will look nasty when she gets older, it costs alots of money, Shes never going to be happy until she knows that she does not need this and that shes all ready beautiful.
Oh heavens no!! That is way too young first of all. And there are tons of things she could want done. If it’s a boob job, then I say HELL NO. That means she wants boobs to be accepted and most likely realizes what her body means to boys.
Our society is so fake nowadays. We have great things at our fingertips and I think plastic surgery works well for people who have physicalities that are very distrubing to their lives or painful.
People are so dissatisfied with themselves and aging and are SO unhappy that they search for the quickest fix to feel better, when in reality they still hurt inside. I see no problem for some basic surgeries but it can be a domino effect.
Tell her she can do it when she is 18 and can pay for it herself. She’ll be an adult and can make her own decisions. Hell, wait till she’s 21.
dont even consider.
NOOO!!! dude why would you even consider letting your kid get plastic surgury? especially an 11 year old!! docters wont do anything unless its a medicall problem to someone that young,
definitely not. she’s way too young.
