Pediatric EarWell Treatment
At Wellstar, we know that every child deserves to grow up feeling confident. Pediatric EarWell is a gentle, non-surgical treatment system that helps correct newborn ear deformities by carefully reshaping the ear cartilage during the first few weeks of life.
What is Pediatric EarWell?
Pediatric EarWell is a safe, painless option for correcting common ear abnormalities such as folded or protruding ears. Instead of surgery, the system uses soft, custom-fit splints and a cradle that are applied to the baby’s ear to guide the cartilage into a natural shape.- Non-surgical: No anesthesia or sedation required
- Gentle and safe: The process is completely painless for your baby
- Effective: Clinical studies show success rates above 90%
Why is it used?
Some newborns are born with ear differences due to pressure in the womb during pregnancy. While these conditions don’t affect hearing, they can impact appearance and self-esteem later in life. Treating them early can:- Improve the ear’s appearance and symmetry
- Prevent teasing or self-consciousness as children grow
- Offer an alternative to future corrective surgery
How does treatment work?
Timing is important. EarWell works best when started within the first three weeks of life, while the ear cartilage is still soft and pliable.- Early application: A Wellstar ENT specialist will place the molding system on your baby’s ear
- Ongoing care: The device stays in place for 10–14 days before being adjusted or replaced
- Treatment course: Most children complete treatment in 4–8 weeks
