PATIENT PROFILE
People with deformities in the pinna.
Generally, young people with large or protruding ears that disfigure their facial physiognomy and often cover them with their hair as a reason for ridicule, which also affects their self-esteem.
PROCEDURE
In all cases of pinna deformities, whether in one ear or both, treatment to achieve symmetry and natural looking ears varies greatly depending on the degree of deformity.
The involvement must be assessed in order to consider reconstruction in one, two or sometimes three surgical stages, depending on the difficulty or severity.
The correction of a badly formed fold is not the same as the correction of a total lack of ear (anotia), partial lack (microtia) or lack of lobes, cases in which we have to provide skin, cartilage and other tissues to create a new ear as similar as possible to the contralateral one if it only affects one ear or to make two ears from scratch.
