Understanding Microtia Surgery

Microtia surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at reconstructing malformed or underdeveloped ears, a condition known as microtia. This surgery is designed to create a natural-looking and functional ear structure, improving both appearance and hearing function. At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we use advanced techniques and personalized care to achieve outstanding results tailored to your unique needs.

Why Choose Microtia Surgery?

Microtia surgery offers several significant benefits:

  • Enhanced Appearance: Corrects the shape and size of the ear to create a more natural and balanced appearance.
  • Improved Function: In some cases, surgery can enhance hearing function by reconstructing the ear canal.
  • Boosted Confidence: Helps individuals feel more comfortable and confident by addressing visible ear deformities.
  • Custom Results: Personalized approach ensures that the reconstructed ear matches the patient’s facial features and aesthetic goals.
Types of Microtia Surgery Techniques We Offer

At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we offer various microtia surgery techniques based on the severity and type of microtia:

  • Autologous Cartilage Reconstruction: Uses cartilage from the patient’s rib or ear to create a new ear structure. This technique provides a natural and durable result.
  • Prosthetic Ear Reconstruction: Involves creating a custom-made prosthetic ear for those who may not be suitable for autologous reconstruction.
  • Skin Expansion: Utilizes a tissue expander to gradually stretch the skin over time, creating enough coverage for the reconstructed ear.
  • Ear Canal Reconstruction: For patients with associated hearing loss, we may reconstruct the ear canal to improve auditory function.
