Microtia surgery is a plastic surgery, or to be more precise, a reconstructive surgery aimed at creating a natural-looking, fully functional ear structure. It works to correct the shape and size of the ear with a congenital structural defect. Based on the microtia severity or grade, there are different techniques available to perform Microtia Ear Surgery in Mumbai at The Microtia Trust.
These include autologous ear reconstruction (using rib cartilage graft), prosthetic ear reconstruction, ear reconstruction using synthetic implant (MedPor), and ear canal reconstruction (for improving auditory function). Overall, microtia surgery offers benefits like enhanced appearance, improved hearing, custom outcomes, and enhanced confidence. The microtia surgery is often recommended to children, but adults, too, can undergo microtia ear reconstruction.
