DO you guys think its wrong or shallow for a 15 yr old to get surgery?

Why would that be wrong? Having fallen arches can seriously affect your posture and cause you a lot of pain….I think it’s important to have it corrected.

i didnt know if it was wrong cuz i didnt know how bad it was i just assumed something would happen but wasnt sure

im not getting it done so i can wear heels i wear heeals to form an arch but its taking too long

People don’t seem to realize how much their feet affect their general health…it may not be doing you much harm now, but left untreated, it can cause knee and back pain, and eventually, arthritis.

the arthritis is what i was afraid of getting so i asked my mom if i can get surgery and she said yes

If you were getting a nosejob, yes, that would be wrong in my opinion. But for fallen arches I think it’s perfectly okay! That’s like saying it’s wrong to get knee surgery or something.

lol when u said the thing about getting a knee job that made me realize how silly this question really was but i cant help to think a bad knee is way more severe then fallen arches

Actually, a flat foot can cause a lot of problems if not corrected.

thats what i was afraid of but i thought i was just making up worse case sanarieos

Maybe not. Feet effect your health a lot more than people realize, like Colleen said.

I think that getting surgery for this reason would not be wrong nor shallow. You’re getting it done to feel better in the long run - not look like a barbie.

u should go ahead and get it! ur not doin it to change ur appearence, ur gettin it so its more convient for u.

Rather get the surgery. I have a friend with flat arches who never got the surgery. She is now 22 and struggling with chronic back pain. It should benefit you a lot in the long run.
