[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is this elective surgery? With surgery, elective procedures typically take a backseat to more urgent ones. See, e.g. a breast surgeon who will reschedule an elective lift/implant to treat a cancer patient.[/quote] No, it's not elective. It really needs to be done. dd is 11 and she's not doing any elective surgery.[/quote] Not the PP who is asking, but I think you misunderstand the concept of elective surgery. Almost all surgery is considered elective. It does not mean not necessary or cosmetic, which is what you are assuming. If the surgeon can't give you a date, then yes, this is elective. Honestly, if you don't have another doctor who specializes in the procedure and there are no harmful effects of waiting, then you should probably wait. But, I'd investigate more to find out what the consequences of waiting are before making a decision. [/quote]
