What is the medical benefit of a frenectomy? Or of braces? Tooth extraction to straighten one's teeth? Removing a mole? The list goes on. Procedures are performed on kids because parents think it will give them a happier life. Not everything in this world is based on measurable, medical benefits.

As I wrote, I have not researched those procedures.

But the same reasoning would apply. You should not alter someone else’s body for cosmetic reasons without their permission.
