Ear Pinning

Many children with prominent ears are frequently uncomfortable with this malady. This may be the source of teasing by siblings or friends. A simple procedure to fold the ears closer to the side of the head is effective in correcting this condition. The procedure is performed as an outpatient and the child returns home the same day. Recovery is quick although the ears need to be protected for a few weeks.

Asymmetrical Breasts

Development of breasts of unequal size is commonly seen in adolescents. When the asymmetry is minimal, no correction is necessary. When the asymmetry is marked, progressive enlargement of the smaller breast with a breast expander will assist in correcting the problem. Poland syndrome is a condition in which one breast is smaller than the other and a portion of the underlying pectoral muscle may be absent. Reconstruction with an expander is effective in this condition.
