My son has a congenital ear deformity. I want to ask if it's possible to have two sets of plastic surgeries.

Patient's question:

My son has a congenital ear deformity. He is only 45 days old now. We went to Shenyang Medical University Second Hospital, where they said that the ear can only be repaired once. I'm worried that it might affect my son's ear growth. I want to try to open the ears myself first, and then wait until he is 5 years old when the ears stop growing, before seeking plastic surgery.
The help I need: I want to know if doing this is possible. Is it true that ear plastic surgery can only be done once?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, now there are many cases where the body has reappeared with congenital deformities of the ears. Generally speaking, it is possible to implement micro surgery methods for conditioning in a timely manner. Generally, there is also a certain effect, and there is no need to worry. My advice to you is that this surgery does not necessarily need to be done once, and it can be implemented many times for treatment and repair. Excessive urgency will not cause any problems.
