Speaking of ears, it is actually very common in life, and there are different opinions about ears, both good and bad. Is the baby's ear a blessing or a deformity? If you want to correct it, don't miss this time period. The following related knowledge was compiled by me. I hope you like it!

In fact, babies within 6 months can use orthotics, but because the auricle cartilage has gradually hardened, the success rate is relatively low and the correction time is relatively long. For example:

For babies from 6 weeks to 2 months, the treatment cycle is about 2-4 weeks;

According to their own development, some babies aged 2-6 months can still undergo non-invasive correction, but the treatment cycle will be extended to 4-6 weeks, and the success rate is only about 50%.

Baby's ear plastic surgery knowledge

cause

There are many reasons for baby's ears, such as parents' inheritance, abnormal folding caused by abnormal development of auricle cartilage, lack of panel or cartilage, etc. In addition to the lug, the common hanging lug, ring-shrinking lug, cup-shaped lug, etc. These are the problems of abnormal auricle structure or abnormal auricle shape.

A normal auricle should include: spiral and anti-spiral; The foot of the helix, the upper and lower feet of the helix; Tragus, tragus; Incision between ethmoids, concha, concha cavity, triangular fossa, earlobe, concha, external auditory canal. Among them, the upper and lower feet of the helix are important structures to support the auricle to stand upright.

Can it be corrected?

Statistics show that about 30% of auricle deformities can be recovered at an early stage, and it is best to correct them as soon as possible!

So, how soon to correct it?

Six weeks after the baby is born is the "golden time" for correction. Because the newborn's ear cartilage is still developing and has strong plasticity, it can be treated by the non-invasive method of "appliance". The baby has no pain, and the correction is difficult, stable, short and effective. It can be corrected in about 2 weeks, and the cure rate can reach 90-95%.

What is an auricle orthosis?

The orthosis consists of a rear base, a screw tractor, an concha orthosis, a perforated observation window cover and a sponge. When in use, it is fixed on the surface of the panel around the ear with the adhesive tape under the rear base, and corrected by the tractor.

In order to ensure the best correction effect, parents must pay attention to the following points when using orthoses for their babies:

Observe panel changes

If you find that the panel is damaged, obviously swollen and the skin is white, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and find a doctor for treatment.

Pay attention to the cleanliness of the ears.

Try to keep dry around the ears, especially when bathing and shampooing the baby, be careful not to get wet, so as not to make the adhesive tape fixing the base lose its adhesion.

Review on time

Only by regularly reviewing and adjusting the base according to the treatment cycle can we ensure the best correction effect.

Seeing this, some parents can't help but ask, "The baby has been over 6 months, can it still be corrected with braces?" Is it finalized? "

Generally speaking, it is difficult for babies over 6 months to correct otoliths by pressing, sticking tape and wearing orthotics. If necessary, you can wait until you are 6 years old and correct it through plastic surgery. In fact, it is corrected by removing the redundant panel behind the ear, bending the abnormal lateral auricle cartilage and rebuilding the normal auricle shape.

However, ears are not harmful to hearing and health. So many stars, such as Nana, Li Xiang and Roy, are all ears? Isn't Tu Tu, including big ears, just as cute? Why do you care? If I say, as a parent, I am very concerned about the baby's ear deformity and unsightly appearance, and I am worried that the auricle deformity will lead to the child's inner inferiority in the future, and he will learn to be nicknamed by his classmates and neighbors' comments ... it is better to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible, correct it as soon as possible, and operate as soon as possible!
