Since 1978, 300 children with Down's syndrome have received plastic- and aesthetic-surgical corrections of the face--to the tongue, nose, and less frequently, ears and chin--so that they will be less conspicuous. The parents' satisfaction in 95% of the cases indicates that the children's situation has been improved by the operations. The children are less stigmatized and their social integration became easier.
自1978年以来，300名唐氏综合征患儿接受了面部整形和美容手术矫正——针对舌头、鼻子，较少针对耳朵和下巴——以便让他们不那么引人注目。95%的病例中家长的满意度表明手术改善了患儿的状况。孩子们受到的歧视减少了，他们融入社会也变得更容易了。
