Question
Before birth, the baby’s left earlobe was found to be smaller during an ultrasound examination, but the ear canal was visible. After birth, the earlobe covered the ear canal, and the doctor recommended waiting until the baby grows up for an appearance surgery. When is the baby suitable for the appearance surgery, and approximately how much will the treatment cost?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to assist you: For a 14-day-old female baby found to have a smaller left earlobe during an ultrasound examination, with the ear canal visible and covered by the earlobe after birth, it is recommended that surgery be performed between the ages of 6 to 12. This is because at this age, the baby’s earlobes have basically developed to the size of adult earlobes, and there is less damage to the child’s rib cartilage. As for the treatment cost, due to individual differences and hospital billing standards, it is recommended that you consult your local hospital for a more accurate cost estimate. I hope my response
