Ear molds are an effective way of treating infants with minor ear deformities. Deformities range from different conditions, but essentially involve misshaped ears that vary in skin or cartilage deficiency. Unfortunately, infant ear molding is not possible for cases of microtia or severely constricted ears. The earlier the ear mold is applied, the better the results will be. Our surgeons recommend this treatment in the first week after birth and up to four weeks of age, as long as the cartilage has not become firm.
