Ear pinning/ ear splints?

    Hi Just wondering if there was anyone here who had experience of ear pinning or ear splints with a child with large stick out ears?

    I have an almost 3 month old with ears that stick out like cup handles, his father had the same as a child and it really hurt his confidence and made him really self conscious. I know its a bit superficial and cosmetic but we dont want him to go though the same problems his dad had.

    I read about ear splints in a magazine and thought we'd give them a try as an alternative to surgery later. There doesnt seem to be any risks as its just taping the ear down but he will have to wear it for maybe 3 months.
    hopefully it will make a difference.

    I don't know anything about it and can completely understand why you would not want your child to go through name calling etc... I would reccommend asking your PHN to refer you to someone as there may be a long waiting list and it would be best to get in it ASAP .
