Congenital deformities of the shape of the auricle may be corrected with a nonsurgical procedure by means of temporary splinting with dental material and surgical tapes (steri-strips) as reported elsewhere. If the dressing was performed during the first three days of life the aesthetic results achieved were persistent and made a posterior surgical correction unnecessary. The elasticity of the ear cartilage seems to be related to the levels of estrone and estradiol.
