EAR RECONSTRUCTION

Ear reconstruction can be as mild as correcting an abnormal folding of the ear to as severe as reconstructing the ear completely.

In the case of abnormal folding of the ear the procedure involves recreating the contour of the ear with sutures placed in the back of the ear. In severe cases where the ear is missing the ear can be reconstructed using cartilage from the ribs. As with all surgical procedures, you should discuss all potential risks and benefits with your surgeon.
