title: Nonsurgical correction of congenital auricular deformities in the early neonate: a preliminary report.
abstract: We conclude that auricular deformities of the early neonate are corrigible by nonsurgical correction. Ideally, the correction should be started immediately after birth (realistically, at latest by the third day after birth) in order to obtain satisfactory and irreversible results.
