There are some uncommon birth imperfections and also the possibility of undergoing some type of severe trauma which will lead to an ear defect. These ear shortcomings can be an unappealing complication to life if they are not handled well. The imperfections can embrace just portions or even the whole ear being missing and because of their prominence on the head and being noticeable to all. Owing to this fact, an ear defect can result in serious psychological concerns that one might have to cope with their whole life if it is not alleviated as soon as possible. While some individuals might just have a defect of the ear such as it bulging outwards which gives the individual the nick-name of dumbo-ears, others can essentially be misplaced part if not all of the ear. Ear reconstruction is just that, it is a reconstructive surgery and while some individuals might use it as a cosmetic process, several require it for reconstructive purposes.
Ear Reconstruction Surgery
The surgery
The apparent objective for the ear reconstruction is to make the ear appear to be normal. This means that the doctor will most likely require skin and cartilage to finish the process. The surgeon might even take a series of moldings and also photographs of the individual’s good ear so that they can make an exact imitation for the ear that will be recreated. The surgeon will then have to decide how much skin and cartilage he or she will require to complete the operation. Once this is all determined, the operation will then begin. The surgery will take more than a few hours for completion and the doctor will be most likely shaving skin from the legs while simultaneously ripping some cartilage from the ribcage so the ear can be reassembled. Then this surgeon has to carve the cartilage into shape before retaining it into the new ear. The ear is made up of cartilage and skin and the tautness of the skin to the cartilage alters contingent upon the position on the ear. The ear, unlike maximum cartilage formed zones of the body, also has a brilliant blood flow and complex venous system.
