The Negative Effects Of Plastic Surgery

People with Down syndrome often have at least one intellectual disability. Often they have problems with talking but there are many people who have regular visits with speech pathologists that have worked they way up to being able to talk clearly. People with Down syndrome are often unhappy to the way some people treat them, as

Down syndrome occurs in people who were born with three, rather than two, copies of the 21st chromosome. This extra genetic material is what brings about the effects of Down’s syndrome. It is often characterized by an impairment of cognitive (process of thought) ability. Most people with Down syndrome have lower than average, mild to moderate, cognitive ability and this cannot be predicted at birth. A smaller number fall into the severe impairment range. Physically, people with Down’s syndrome are smaller in stature, have less muscle tone, and have noticeably different facial features. The number of these births occurs approximately in one out of every one thousand (ndss.org). As of 2007, the number of people in the United States with Down syndrome stood at about 350,000. These numbers will shrink because now (most) potential parents can know the condition of the fetus early. This information is included to let the reader relate to the struggles that some with Down syndrome goes through.

Due to advances in medical technology, individuals with Down syndrome are living longer than ever before. In 1910, children with Down syndrome were expected to survive to age nine. With the discovery of antibiotics, the average survival age increased to 19 or 20. Now, with recent advancements in clinical treatment, most particularly corrective heart surgeries, as many

Babies with Down syndrome are usually sociable infants,they like to communicating nonverbal ways to communicating with people. Some children would learn sign-language or gesture in their way of talking. Children and adults with Down syndrome continue to develop good social skills and appropriate social behaviour, though a significant minority may develop difficult behaviours, particularly those with the greatest delays in speech and language development (https://www.dseinternational.org).

Down syndrome doesn’t just show up during your life, you’re not going to just start noticing you have Down syndrome in the middle of your life or be diagnosed with it later on. You’re born with it; you have no way to get rid of it at any time. You can’t change it. Down syndrome is a chromosomal condition that is linked to intellectual disability. Each human should have 46 chromosomes, 23 from the father, and 23 from the mother. But whenever you have a child with Down syndrome they are born

However, different levels of cognitive delays are experienced by people with Down syndrome (Tocci, 2000). Technological advances in the field of medicine have allowed Down syndrome patients to live longer lives. For instance, children suffering from the illness in 1910 usually died after they turned none. However, with the advent of antibiotics, these children can now live to the age of 19 or 20. Further advances in technology have allowed almost 80% of Down syndrome patients to live past their 60th birthday due to corrective heart surgeries etc. An increasing number of Americans are becoming aware of people who suffer from the illness, which has led to an increase in tolerance and acceptance of this condition (Girod,

I spent my evenings researching how to raise a child with Down syndrome and there were a lot of facts that helped guide me. One very important advice was to never spoil my child for spoiling my child can have negative consequences such as my other child becoming jealous and my child with Down syndrome not able to develop independence and self esteem (Selikowitz, M., 2008). It is also recommended to involve the class teacher as much as possible, speaking to the teacher to request if he or she would be willing to speak positively about disabilities, which may provide a mutual support among classmates (Selikowitz, M.,

In the first video about Down syndrome we learned about a young couple who when they had their first child, Kristen discovered that she was born with the malformation known as Down syndrome. They were very concerned for her health and struggled through the medical needs she had as an infant in relation to the Down syndrome which caused her to have 6 surgeries as a very young age. The same couple had another child who was not born with the malformation and were expecting their third child as well. Nicole, who is Kristen’s little sister actually seemed to stimulate development in Kristen, such as when Nicole started to crawl, so did Kristen. Kristen’s mom explained that while having a child with Down syndrome comes with great concerns, challenges

With today’s technological advances people should look up a web site, www.ndss.org, specifically for information on people with Down syndrome. In today’s societies a person with Down syndrome still fall into common misconception about who or why they were born Down syndrome. Common misconceptions for a person with Down syndrome consists of them being contagious, they have three of every chromosome, and the umbilical cord wraps around their neck while in the womb. Everyone should mark their calendars for March twenty-first, national world Down syndrome

Health concerns remain a stressor for parents of children with Down syndrome throughout the ages. Solomon (2012) found that as adults most children with Down syndrome still lived at home with their parents as caretakers or lived in a group home. As adults, these children with Down syndrome were successful and happy, however, through the interventions and therapies were these children trajectories for success. One of the problems with Down syndrome is that if affects cognition, which influences language. Communication can be difficult for a child with Down syndrome; he or she might feel alone and misunderstood by his or her parents. It can be frustrating for parents as well unable to communicate with their child.

From Charlie and Claire’s presentation, I learned about the consistent behaviors of children with Down Syndrome as well as the importance of intervention and support through development. When I was in high school, I babysat Emma, a girl with Down Syndrome, regularly. I noticed that some of the mannerisms that Charlie continually made were similar to those that I knew Emma to make. For example, Charlie is active and likes to have control when he can, which was demonstrated when he asked everyone to put their computers away and led the “question answering session” in an orderly fashion. Much like Emma, Charlie shows compassion and the desire for human touch and interaction. I also learned about the potential role that an SLP might have as a child with Down Syndrome develops. I know that it is typical for children with Down Syndrome to have a smaller oral cavity, which results in a larger tongue for space provided. Thus being said, an SLP can work with the child through learning how to produce speech intelligibly. I noticed that Charlie was stuttering at certain points, but

People who are born with Down syndrome go through life treated differently. Growing people with Down syndrome are teased in school because of the way they are. This causes the already their already hard life to be even more difficult. Because they don’t have the fully capacities that others have they have to struggle and go through life differently than the rest of the people. People born with Down syndrome are limited to what they can achieve in life and they are also limited to what they can be in life. Such inequality is not just, should we not try to create a better place where everyone is treated fair and equally.

Parents of young adults with Down syndrome feel their offspring are emotionally and socially immature and are concerned about further development before their young move out of the family home (Docherty and Reid, 2009).

There was an interview conducted by SteadyHealth.com and Dr. Howard T. Bellin last year. In this interview many different questions were asked about self esteem and the appropriate age for plastic surgery. Dr. Bellin believes that a person’s self esteem can benefit significantly from plastic surgery. One of the major surgeries that he does would be the rhinoplasty. He does this operation on teens. There is a general debate about what age is appropriate to let your child have plastic surgery. Sometimes parents believe that their child may be too young or perhaps too immature to engage in surgeries that seem to be for adults only. Plastic surgery can fix some problems but is not a “cure”. Cosmetic procedures are becoming much more common among teens now a day and are helping them through everyday life and help them fit in. There will always be a debate on this situation but it is important to look out

To sum up, plastic surgery is aimed to make humanity look better. Thousands of people have these operations performed each year. However,
