The ears have great importance for facial feature definition. Although ears are not included in the traditional concept of beauty, ear deformities as the result of trauma, cancer or disease may cause alterations in facial appearance. Deformities in size, shape or position of the ears may cause significant patient anxiety and concern, and may affect the individual´s social interaction and self-perception.

What is ear reconstruction?

Ear reconstruction, as a part of otoplasty, is the reconstructive surgery procedure to correct serious ear deformities due to congenital, pathological malformation, and trauma. Ear reconstruction seeks to restore shape on a damaged ear, either with autologous tissue or implants. The reconstructive ear surgery is considered as one of the most challenging operations in reconstructive surgery.
