Lidding ear deformities are easily corrected non-surgically with ear molding.
How do you fix a lidding ear?
After the time window for ear molding has closed, the recommended method of correcting lidding ear deformity is surgical ear reconstruction (otoplasty). Otoplasty is recommended to be performed after the ears have reached their mature size which is usually between the ages of five and six.
Does Stahl's ear correct itself?
