microtia surgery before and after
The patient is a 12-year-old girl presenting with right-sided microtia with a lobule that is positioned higher vertically compared to the normal left ear. New ear was reconstructed using rib cartilage in three stages.
Ten years post-surgery, the reconstructed right ear has maintained size and shape symmetry with the left normal ear."
Hi, I’m Dr. Chul Park, an ear reconstruction surgeon. I’m here to show you the transformation of a girl born with right-sided microtia. In the first slide, you’ll see her condition before surgery, with her right ear set higher than the normal left. Using her own rib cartilage, I crafted a new ear. Fast forward 10 years, in the second slide, you’ll witness the ear’s perfect symmetry with the left in size, shape, and position. A decade on, and the results speak for themselves. Join me as I delve into the details of this life-enhancing surgery.”
