EAR RECONSTRUCTION

Misshapen or absent ears can be reconstructed using a variety of techniques, including grafts of cartilage or skin in combination with local tissues. This is frequently a multi-staged process with 3-4 separate surgeries. The patients usually go home the same day after each surgery, however there are activity limitations in place for several weeks. Careful wound and dressing care is required to maintain the results of the procedure. Ear reconstruction in children is usually begun at about age five.
