Repeated teasing prompts a 7 year old to make a plastic surgery on her ears
A
seven year old girl in Southern Dakota, who was the victim of teasing
because her ears “flew” to the outside, was submitted to otoplasty -
plastic surgical intervention for the configuration of the exterior part
of the ear.
Samantha Roselle’s mother said in the transmission of ABC “Good Morning America” that this surgical process was selected as a preventive measure in order to stop the harassment.
Cami Roselle, mother of Samantha, declared that “children can be bad”.
The
intervention, which lasted 1-hour, was successful, according to Dr
Stiben Pearlman, whom was the surgeon that operated on her, said in the
ABC show “her ears look splendid!”
