Would you get your daughter or son plastic surgery as a high school graduation present?

My parents got me rhinoplasty for my graduation but I didn't end up actually getting it until I was 20. My sister is getting the same thing and all my cousins did and so did my parents so I would probably do the same thing for my daughter if she inherits that gosh awful bump. People also put their kids in dental braces when half the time it's only cosmetic and no one has a problem with that. The one thing I don't think I would want my daughter getting though is breast implants unless she had some kind of deformity. I think it's sad to replace perfectly normal breasts with weird bags of silicone just so they can be larger.

1. I wouldn't. I think it would show my son/daughter that I don't think they beautiful they way they are. If they wanted to get it done themselves, that is their choice.
2. The teeth is similar but, not the same. Bad teeth can affect speech and allow food to get in-between, rot, and cause decay. No, I wouldn't contribute to my kid getting plastic surgery.
3. Meh. Orthodontics don't have to do with cosmetics half of the time. A bad bite leads to sensitive teeth, headaches, and TMJ problems.
4. Maybe. Depends on the reason for what they wanted.
5. I understand if you have issues with it but at the same time, you are fooling your future husband or partner into thinking you are something you are not, like, if you have kids and your kid gets a huge nose like yours then he will wonder....if it's just a minor thing then i can understand a bit more but if it's a huge change and he sees your old pictures he will think you are fake and wonder what your kids will look like. But i see you are Jewish and most Jewish people get their nose done because you usually have huge bumps. Maybe you should just accept that instead of trying to look like something you're not.
6. Plastic surgery is redicoulous and only necesary for medical reasons. It's pretty pathetic for parents to support this.
7. I went to highschool with a girl that got a nose job at 16 and she was made fun of relentlessly for being vain and over obsessed with her looks. I'd never pay for my child's plastic surgery unless they had a severe deformity that affected their emotional well being.
8. Well, if it was breast implants or a butt lift, no, but a nose job or something along those lines then why not?
9. Maybe. Really depends on where and why. I would never pay for breasts. A young woman can change so much in the chest in her teens and twenties. I might pay for a rhinoplasty. I can't say for certain either way but I know I would consider it if one of my daughters really wanted it and we could afford it. I do agree with you some plastic surgery isn't that much different than repairing and over bite. So if that is completely acceptable then why isn't a bit of work on the nose OK?
10. I've seen lots of bumps, but I don't remember ever seeing a god awful one. I think it would be god awful to tell my teen daughter that I agree that her bump was god awful by giving her money to get rid of the god awful bump. I hope your bump was really a god awful bump and not just a regular one.
11. Well if I had the money and it was something that had really been affecting them all their life I would. But as I have a normal income, I cant afford plastic surgery for myself let alone anyone else.
12. No. Parents' roles should be to tell their kids they're beautiful just the way they are and not send the message that looks are everything.
