If you suffer from microtia, ear surgery is available to help fix the problem. Learn the basics to find out the fastest way to hide the deformity and repair any underlying issues, allowing you to get ears that do not stand out as abnormal.
Many people either suffer from or have seen an issue in which one or both ears look a little misshapen or in the wrong position. Some are also smaller than they should be. Though this defect is observed by many, not everyone knows what causes it. You should learn a bit about microtia, along with the procedure offered to fix it. This issue is known as a congenital defect, and may affect one or both ears. There are a few stages that patients might have,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the first being grade one. In this case, the external auditory canal might not be present,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the patient presents with ears that are smaller than usual, though they have no other obvious defects. In grade two microtia, earfeatures are missing, such as some cartilage. Grade three is the most severe type since most normal features are not present. Most patients with any of these types are eligible for surgery. In the first step of reconstructive surgery to fix microtia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ear cartilage is replaced with cartilage from elsewhere on the body, usually the ribs. Clearly, this kind of surgery requires a hospital stay of at least a few days in most cases since two different parts of the body must heal. A new earlobe can be created from this kind of tissue, and a skin graft can complete the procedure. Stitches can usually be removed within a week, but patients need to take care to protect either side of their head in order to let the area heal. Therefore, wearing hats, glasses, or hoods, as well as playing sports, should all be avoided for the first few weeks after the procedure until the doctor says it is okay to resume normal activity. As long as no danger to the ears is present in the workplace, the typical patient can return to work just days after the procedure, as soon as their doctor ensures that everything is healing nicely. If you or someone you know suffers from microtia, ear reconstructive surgery is available to most people. It does require an operation that involves taking tissue from other parts of the body, but this is usually the best, most natural way to get ears that are the correct size and shape, and are positioned well on the head. In the end, this kind of surgery may take months to complete since there are a few stages, but it is the best and fastest way to correct deformities.
