Correction of ear deformities

Was your child born with an ear deformity?

Scientific studies of more than 800 children have shown that ear deformity leads to more bullying and social problems.

Approximately 10-30% of babies are born with a degree of abnormal ear shape. This can be due to the effects on the fetus during pregnancy or inherited genetic defects, often there is no explanation for the cause, only a desire to treat the condition.

Pricked ears are the most common ‘deformity’, but there are several other unnamed conditions that are already visible from birth, both in the form of smaller cartilage tags and deviated, compressed ear shape.

Ear malformations the clinic can help with

For multiple conditions such as ‘eartags’ and constricted ear
it is an advantage to treat the child at a very early age.

• Cryptonia
• Constricted ear
• Steel’s ear
• Hermangioma
• Ear tags
• Cauliflower Ear (Cauliflower Ear).

Eartags/ Skintags

Skintags/ Ear tags can be removed with a very simple surgery that can be performed without general anesthesia with local anesthetic cream and local anesthesia.

This is an advantage the younger the child is, i.e. from a very young age.

Correction of constricted ear and cataract ear – Children (Earwell® system)

Young children with compressed ears should. constricted ear can be treated with a new atraumatic, non-surgical method that involves applying a frame/scaffold that straightens the ear over time. This is the Earwell® system.

Inanna Weiss is trained to apply EarWell to infants and can safely and confidently help you and your baby. EarWell is designed to be applied quickly and easily and is suitable for many types of ear deformities. Treatment takes place over 4 to 6 weeks after which the ear will typically recover to a more normal looking ear.

This is done without surgery and could eliminate the need for the child to be subjected to teasing and surgery at a later date.

Prominent ears – Strange ears in adults & adolescents

Prick ears, also known as prominent ears, can have different causes and it is important to understand these factors when considering surgical correction. It can be due to insufficient development of the ‘outer’ cartilage fold (antihelix), too large, deep cartilage cup or a combination of several causes. It is important to recognize the correct cause in order to adapt the surgical technique.

Surgery with Otoplasty

When it comes to surgical techniques, we offer a tailored solution based on each patient’s needs. There are several different techniques for Otoplasty, where the surgeon reshapes or reduces the cartilage to adapt the shape of the ear. This can involve removing excess cartilage, adjusting the ear contour and creating a more natural fold in the ear.

Another method is the use of sutures to help stabilize the position of the ear and achieve the desired shape. Inanna masters the innovative biomechanical technique developed by Dr. Raunig, which leaves no permanent sutures and gives a very natural look.

The surgery is individually customized to ensure the result meets the patient’s expectations and fits their facial structure.

Dr. Weiss will carefully evaluate your ears, discuss the causes of your pricked ears and present the most appropriate surgical techniques for your individual needs. The goal is to deliver a safe and effective procedure that can restore balance and confidence.

Surgical ear reduction and earlobe reduction and reduction of excessive ear holes are also performed.
