Ear Reconstruction Surgery – Insights
Ear reconstruction surgery is an operation to repair or rebuild the pinna or auricle- the external/outer part of the ear. It is a complex process performed by a team of specialists- an expert ear reconstruction plastic surgeon in the presence of an otolaryngologist (ear physician), and sometimes a hearing specialist (if hearing loss is a concern).
