Deformed Ear Correction at the Microtia Trust


Ear deformities can be congenital, i.e., one can be born with the condition. It could also be because of microtia or accidents. It is also possible to develop ear deformities somewhat later in life as a result of trauma. Most of these ear deformities are corrected through surgical procedures.

If one is planning to undergo ear reshaping surgery, one can consult Dr. Parag Telang, a renowned surgeon at Microtia Trust. The expert surgeon is known for providing ear reshaping cost in USA at an affordable price. 

As discussed above, ear deformities can be caused either by birth or by injuries. In some situations, an ear can be created using tissue from the patient’s body, i.e., the skin, fascia, or cartilage.

Ear reconstruction is one of the most challenging plastic surgery procedures. It is considered complicated since it is associated with the complex shape of the ear that has to be created to make it appear natural. Dr. Parag Telang, a leading ear surgeon, has delivered wonderful results due to advancements in reconstructive surgery. The expert surgeon is known for performing the best ear-reshaping surgery in India (Mumbai), England, and the USA.

The surgery is recommended for two groups of patients. First are those who have microtia, i.e., an underdeveloped ear at birth, and second are those who have lost a normal ear in any kind of accident.  

The procedure of ear reconstruction surgery is one of two stages.

Ear reconstruction surgery: Stage 1

In the first stage, a skin pocket is created at the site of the ear by reshaping the tissues. The rib cartilage is cropped into three pieces and then sculpted with fine stainless steel wire to construct a detailed ear structure. This structure gets inserted in the pocket, and suction is used to enable the skin and make the designed ear structure come together. The surgery could take around 4-6 hours, and the patient would stay in the hospital for 5-7 days.

Ear reconstruction surgery: Stage 2

To make the ear appear normal, it needs to be set in a proper position. To set the position of the ear, it is lifted with a piece of cartilage. A flap of tissue is added, and grafting is done over the cartilage to complete the process. This stage takes around 3–4 hours to complete, and the patient is expected to stay in the hospital for around 2–3 days.

90% of the patients opt for graded ear reconstruction surgery, as the results are amazing and the success rate is high too. The ear reshaping surgery is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition. However, some patients have a thin or low hairline, which may not be possible for ear correction surgery. In such a situation, it is best to consult Dr. Parag Telang for further information.

Ear reshaping surgery can be done for several purposes, and the ear reshaping surgery cost in USA depends on the procedure followed and the purpose for which the surgery is performed.
