Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this activity participants should be able to:
  1. Understand children are not small adults and have a value system based on balance and harmony. Surgery is most often structural in nature as opposed to rejuvinative in adults.
  2. Understand surgeons who undertake their care in many ways assume the role of “guardians of self esteem” They are not an expanded marketplace for cosmetic surgery. A high moral and ethical compass is needed in this fragile population.
  3. Understand where surgery may be definitive; sometimes cooperation with other services such as psychiatry should be considered.
