Like most of you stated, it is not simply a cosmetic procedure. We are seeing a nuero and a plastic surgeon for tort. I guess thats just cosmetic too, since I dont want him to look like he is twisted around. Its disgusting to me that they could take a serious medical condition and distort it like that.
