Vivian's Ears - Part 1

Vivian was born with lop ears. I assume because she was completely out of space.

Left ear

Right ear

To fix it, we were referred to the plastic surgery department at Children's Medical Center were they glued/taped molds (thickness of toothpicks shaped to the curve of the ear) to the front and back of Vivian's ears. She should only need them for 6-8 weeks, until her cartilage can hold the shape on its own.

On the way to our appointment on Thursday, May 5th.

After the "procedure". The gauze was just until the glue dried.

If you look at pictures of her after May 5th, you'll notice her ears are covered in tape. This will be removed and reapplied every 2-3 weeks until she reaches somewhere around 6-8 weeks.
