Ear Reconstruction

Ear reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure to rebuild the outer ear (pinna) in individuals born with microtia (underdeveloped ear), or those who have lost the ear due to trauma, burns, or tumor removal. The goal is to create a natural-looking, symmetrical ear using either patient’s own tissue or medical-grade implants.

Our expert team combines artistry and precision to restore both appearance and self-esteem through ear reconstruction surgery.


Who Needs Ear Reconstruction?

  • Children born with Microtia (Grades I–IV)

  • Patients with Traumatic Ear Loss (accidents, bites, burns)

  • Post-tumor resection defects

  • Congenital deformities like constricted ear or cryptotia

  • Unsatisfactory results from previous surgeries


Treatment Options

1. Autologous Rib Cartilage Reconstruction

  • Uses patient’s own rib cartilage to sculpt the ear

  • Best suited for children aged 8–10 years and older

  • Multiple stages (typically 2–3) required

  • Long-lasting, natural result with tissue integration

2. Medpor Implant Reconstruction

  • Uses a porous polyethylene framework

  • Covered with tissue flaps and skin grafts

  • Can be done at a younger age (as early as 3–4 years)

  • Single-stage or two-stage approach

3. Prosthetic Ear (Silicone)

  • For patients unsuitable for surgery or preferring non-surgical options

  • Realistic appearance

  • Attached using medical adhesives or implants


Surgical Goals

  • Create a natural shape and correct size

  • Match the opposite ear in position and contour

  • Restore facial symmetry

  • Enable the use of eyeglasses or hearing devices if needed

  • Minimize visible scars and complications


Recovery & Aftercare

  • Hospital stay of 2–4 days, depending on the technique
