Pediatric ear deformities
The experienced providers at Children’s Health℠ works with a multidisciplinary team to evaluate and treat differences in ear shapes. Our goal is to see and treat the condition early, between 5-14 days old, to achieve optimal results and avoid future surgery.

Ear deformities are treated with ear molding or surgery. Not all ear deformities will benefit from molding, but the key is to have your child evaluated early before they miss the window to begin this non-surgical treatment option.
