I understand where these parents are coming from though, probably experienced being bullied or made fun of too because of prominent ears. Having the option to change that is nice to know. And it is a big decision for parents to have their kid go through a procedure.
In any case, we should respect what the family sees best for them. I urge anyone who reads this to study up on what comes with such a procedure. How to choose a surgeon? how to prepare before the procedure. There’s a lot of things to learn and luckily, the internet is here to save the day!
My favourite surgeon, Dr Shahidi has runs a great rhinoplasty and otoplasty clinic and their website has a generous knowledge base for everyone to learn more about complex precedures like this.
