Price

Orthotic devices: Prices vary depending on brand, material, functionality, and other factors, typically ranging from approximately 20,000 to 80,000 KRW.

Surgery: The cost of ear correction surgery depends on multiple factors such as surgical technique, hospital tier, and surgeon experience. Surgery fees generally range from approximately 500,000 to 2,000,000 KRW.

Expected Outcomes

For newborns with mild ear drooping, wearing a corrective device promptly after birth can lead to significant improvement within a few weeks, with the ear gradually returning to a normal shape. However, if the drooping is severe or correction is delayed, the results may be limited.

Surgical correction can substantially improve the appearance of drooping ears, but it cannot guarantee a perfect match with normal ears. Patients should maintain reasonable expectations and understand that surgery has certain limitations.

Combined Therapy

In general, combined therapy is rarely used for correcting floppy ears. However, for some complex cases of floppy ear deformity, a corrective device may be used in conjunction with surgery before or after the procedure to reinforce surgical outcomes and promote better ear recovery.

Side Effects and Complications

Wearing a corrective device may cause skin allergies, pressure marks, and impaired local blood circulation. Regular monitoring of ear skin condition is necessary; adjust or replace the device promptly if any discomfort occurs.

Surgical procedures may involve complications such as bleeding, infection, scar formation, undercorrection, or overcorrection. Strict adherence to postoperative medical instructions is essential to minimize the risk of complications.

Side Effects

Short-term: Wearing a corrective device can cause ear skin redness, itching, and pain. In the immediate postoperative period, ear swelling, pain, and bruising may occur.

Long-term: Surgery may result in permanent scarring, affecting ear appearance. In rare cases, ear function abnormalities may develop.

Selecting Instruments (Surgery-Related)

Earedrop correction surgery generally does not require specialized instruments, but standard medical tools such as surgical scalpels, sutures, and cartilage fixation materials may be used during the procedure. When selecting these tools, ensure they meet quality standards and regulatory medical requirements, and are provided by accredited medical institutions.

Contraindications for the Procedure

Systemic Diseases: Patients with severe diseases of vital organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, or those with blood system disorders or immune system diseases, may not tolerate the surgery.

Ear Infections: In the presence of acute ear infections, infection control must be achieved first, and corrective procedures should only be performed after the inflammation has subsided.

P Psychological Abnormalities: Patients with severe psychological disorders who cannot accurately understand the outcomes and risks of the surgery are not suitable candidates for the procedure.

Ear Infections: If there is an acute infection in the ear, the infection must be controlled first, and correction should only be performed after the inflammation has subsided.

Psychological Abnormalities: Patients with severe psychological disorders who cannot correctly understand the effects and risks of the surgery are not suitable candidates for the procedure.

Side Effects

Short-term: Wearing a corrective device may cause discomfort such as redness, itching, and pain on the ear skin. In the short term after surgery, ear swelling, pain, and bruising may occur.

Long-term: Surgery may leave scars that affect the appearance of the ear. In extremely rare cases, ear function abnormalities may occur.

Select Treatment Plan

Doctors will formulate a comprehensive treatment plan based on factors such as the patient's age, degree of ear drooping, and ear structure. For newborns, wearing a corrective device is recommended first; for patients with poor results from corrective devices or older patients, surgical correction is considered. The surgical approach will also be selected according to specific circumstances, such as reinforcing the ear cartilage.
