Ear reconstruction is an effective cosmetic procedure which can help patients feel more secure in their appearance. Whether the ear has been damaged in an accident or it was malformed at birth, ear reconstruction will help to reshape the ears to create symmetry as well as to help protruding ears.
Create Ear Shape and Size Symmetry
The most common reason for the use of ear reconstruction is to change the shape or the size of the ears. Whether the ears have suffered damage or not, cosmetic surgery for ears can rebuild missing pieces in the ears or it can help to change the shape of one ear to match the other ear. By taking away excess cartilage or adding medical devices to fill in gaps, ear reconstruction can help to create a more attractive ear shape.
Pin Back Protruding Ears
Many patients use ear reconstruction to help them with ears which stick out. By pinning the ears back, the face can have a more refined look without major surgery. This is a common surgery not only for adults, but also for children to allow their ears to grow in this pinned back shape. Some patients might also just want to have one ear pinned back to match the other ear.
With ear reconstruction, ears which are misshapen or that protrude can be easily altered. Whether these conditions are the result of injury, disease or simply genetics, a patient doesn't have to settle for ears they don't like. Ear reconstruction can quickly and easily produce the results they desire.
