I say fix 'em. My wife has them. Her parents dithered, she took a ton of shit because of them (her ears, not her parents), and then when she got to high school and the fix-it was offered it was too late–she saw it as capitulation to the bullies. And then continued to take a ton of shit because of them. Even as an adult some moron will comment on them every once in a while. Fix 'em. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Don’t do it unless and until she wants it. BTW, health insurance usually pays for it. Really? I support that it does, but health insurance won’t cover my hearing aids. Cosmetics are more important than function? Anyway, I have one ear that sticks out. It may be more noticeable because it’s just one. For what ever reason, in the 60’s my mom looked into this and decided against fixing it. Elective surgery and all that, and tech has changed I suppose. It’s never effected me as far as I can tell. I’m a guy if that makes any difference. ---

I have a niece that had the surgery. It’s been years so I don’t recall which charity paid for it but that niece was quite happy with the results. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/plastic-surgery-for-daughters-ears/758616.md?page=1)
