Correct neonatal auricle fold?

Patient's question:

Above the outer ear of the right ear, it feels like there's a small extra part.

Doctor's answer:

The timing of ear reconstruction surgery is crucial, being one of the main factors determining the ideal surgical outcome. We believe that considering factors such as rib cartilage development, auricle development, and psychological development, the best age for ear reconstruction is 9, 10, or 11 years old.
