A New Nose For Nora?!

From The Onion:

As a pediatric plastic surgeon, Dr. Jessica Krieg changes little faces and lives for the better. Yet for all the good she does, she is all too aware that rhinoplasty and liposuction can be difficult, scary experiences for a child. With her new book, Norah's New Nose, she hopes to change all that.

"These children, on the threshold of becoming something—and someone—beautiful, are often scared and unsure of what's about to be done to them," Krieg said. "In Norah's New Nose, I try to show them there's nothing to fear, and that when it's over, there's no need for shame."


Is this really helping children to understand about their upcoming surgery, or clever marketing? I hope that this doesn't encourage a new group of folks that want to look like a Barbie doll. How many rhinoplasties are done in children anyway to justify a book?

This rhinoplasty
in children is a good idea as this would help to develop self-confidence in them regarding their beautiful appearence.
