Don’t let your childhood be changed by your ears!

For all the new parents who have just been successfully promoted, you must be unable to hold down the joy in your heart, looking at the little soft baby in front of you, you are really afraid of dropping it in your hands, and afraid of melting it in your mouth. As a new parent’s favorite game is to find the same and find the difference! Huh? My baby’s ears are a little different! If you find that your baby’s ears look like the picture below, come to the hospital for a checkup! New parents and moms may feel sad, I’ve been paying attention during my pregnancy, why are my baby’s ears like this? These conditions pictured above are collectively known as auricular morphology deformities, the cause of which is unknown and may be related to genetic factors, influence of external factors within the pregnancy, fetal sleeping position, and extrusion during labor and delivery. However, parents should not worry, now our hospital has introduced the international advanced non-invasive neonatal auricular deformity correction technology, most of the auricular deformity can be corrected through human intervention in the neonatal period, instead of waiting until the age of 6 years old through surgical orthopedics. This technique truly realizes the advantages of painlessness, short correction time, good treatment effect and light economic burden for parents. Early neonatal period is characterized by a high level of free maternal estrogen, which determines the amount of hyaluronic acid in the ear cartilage, so the newborn’s auricle is malleable and the ear cartilage is easy to shape, but its hardness gradually increases with time. By 6 weeks after birth, the level of free estrogen in newborns has decreased to normal levels. Therefore, the window for non-invasive neonatal auricular deformity correction is very short, six weeks after birth. If you miss it, you will have to wait until you are six years old to consider surgical correction. Moreover, auricular deformity can cause tremendous physical and psychological stress to growing babies, so it is important for all parents to seek prompt medical attention when they discover the problem, so that they don’t miss the opportunity!
