Ear Deformities Program
Abnormal development of the ear can cause a variety of complications, ranging from cosmetic issues to hearing and development problems. The Ear Deformities Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) will create a care plan for your child, with options including:
- Surgical repair, including ear reconstruction
- Non-surgical treatment options such as ear molding
We are part of the Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Oral Surgery, one of the largest and most accomplished programs in the nation. Patients treated by the Ear Deformities Program also have direct access to experts from CHOP’s Division of Otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) and the Department of Audiology.
Our experienced and caring team will make sure that your child and your entire family receive the support you need.
