The lawyer and influencer shared via video how the otomodeling plastic surgery was performed on his 6-year-old daughter
Last Tuesday, 03/28, the influencer Deolane Bezerra shared a video that caused discussion on his social networks. In the post, her 6-year-old daughter Valentina Bezerra underwent an aesthetic procedure called advanced otomodelling. The goal was to change the shape of the ears, which annoyed the girl.
“We will make an otomodel on her ears. She feels a little uncomfortable, she covers it with her hair. 40 minutes, there is no pain, there are only a few dots,” said the lawyer and digital influencer. With that, netizens started wondering whether a child of that age could have plastic surgery.
What is Automodelling?
Advanced ear contouring is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that usually involves the use of wires to improve the appearance of the ears. According to NGO Em Boas Mãos plastic surgeon, Dr. Hugo Sabath, the technique differs from otoplasty or prominauris surgery. This is because biocontouring does not involve incisions or tissue removal. Therefore, it is a less invasive option for people who want to improve the look of their ears.
Boas Mãos NGO director and medical advocate Dr. Beatriz Guedes comments that this condition of prominent ears (prominauris) undermines self-esteem and increases the possibility of unpleasant situations and even bullying in childhood and adolescence. “It’s important to raise awareness of the technical name prominauris (protruding ears), so we don’t cause embarrassment, discrimination and bullying in people with the condition.” alert the professional.
In addition to prominent ears, ear contouring is a great option for people who want to fix torn or stretched earlobes, or for those who want to improve the look of asymmetrical ears. The procedure is usually painless and may only require one session. No need for anesthesia or recovery time.
Is it safe to have the procedure done at just 6 years old?
“There is no fixed minimum age to perform Otomodelling, as it can vary according to the individual circumstances of each patient. However, it is important to consider that the ear continues to grow and develop throughout childhood and adolescence, the which can affect the result of the automodeling if the procedure is performed too early,” explains Dr. Hugh.
The doctor explains that the procedure is allowed from the age of 7, when the ear cartilage is fully formed. “To perform the procedure on a minor, he must be accompanied by a responsible person and he must also be in agreement with the procedure,” he adds.
It is important to note that advanced automotive modeling may not be an indication for all cases. Therefore, it is always recommended to speak to a specialist to determine the best treatment option for each individual.
“In general, parents should speak with an otomodeling specialist to determine the most appropriate age to perform the procedure, taking into account the child’s health and safety, as well as their aesthetic needs and desires,” concludes the plastic surgeon.
