Joshua has a slightly deformed ear that can be corrected by plastic surgery. At age 11, Joshua is quite conscious of the defect,
but he has been told that it would be best to
postpone surgery until he is at least 15. Discuss the possible advantages and disadvantages
of this recommendation.
What will be an ideal response?
Physical development in adolescence is often uneven, with the nose, lips, and ears
growing before the head itself reaches adult size and shape. Therefore, the surgeon
prefers to wait until Joshua's ears and head have finished growing so that
permanent proportionate results can be achieved. As he is typical of those in his
age group, Joshua is already concerned about his appearance and peer reaction and will probably want to have the defect "fixed" earlier.
