Ear Reconstruction

Malformations due to congenital defects like microtia or injury can adversely affect the look and functionality of the external ear. Ear reconstruction has come a long way over the years and treatment can improve the look and function of poorly formed or damage ears.

Ear reconstruction dates back to 600 BC when the only option was the use of skin flaps. It was long thought impossible to completely reconstruct an ear because the amount of skin and elastic cartilage needed were not available. Today, external ear reconstruction is not only possible, but is regularly performed throughout the world using new techniques such as tissue expansion, cartilage grafting and the creation of ear structures from surgical grade materials.

Ear malformations range from mild to severe and the procedures for surgery vary depending the type of malformation, the health of the patient at the time of surgery and the desired outcome.

If you are struggling with malformation of the ear due to congenital defect or injury, ear reconstruction may be the answer for you.
