Auricular Reconstruction by Autologous costal cartilage after 2 years for a-17-year-old-microtia-patient
An other 4.5 year-old girl, diagnosed with microtia on the left side, came to us to get her new ear 8 months ago. Her parents had been consulted in some renown plastic surgeons and searched for many information about ear reconstruction from media before reaching us. However, they still sought out a little more to meet their demands of aesthetic and safety for their baby. One of family’s friends, having their microtia boy reconstructed by our team, suggested the parents to come and meet us. After several clinical examinations and consultations about surgical techniques, implant choices and care plans, we reached their belief and high-yield commands to perform the surgery. Medpor auricular frame and one-stage endoscopic reconstructive surgery using microsurgery techniques assisted to harvest temporoparietal fasia flap had been done. They were very satisfied with our care plan after operation and the outcome due to no pain, no scar, no alopecia gained throughout entire process. The revisits were scheduled periodically and followed in commitment. After 8months, her new ear is healed well in shapes evenly. Every detail of the auricular framework has been appeared clearly and will be more brought out precisely, similar to her normal ear. The elasticity and skin-like-real are nearly reached at the moment. We couldn’t wait to see her more amazing outcome at the next revisits in one year post-op. She now gets beautiful smiles on her face usually, which opposed to her before-surgery time. These are some of her great pictures and video showing the fantastic outcome of this adorable baby and our remarkable technique.
Below are images of a small, pretty ear after single-stage endoscopic surgery with an artificial cartilage framework – at the 4-month and 6-month marks. When the material is inserted, the framework needs time to “befriend” the body, gradually becoming an official part of the child. During this process, the swelling will subside, and the skin will gently wrap around, forming natural curves and ridges – just like a normal ear. 💙 Therefore, parents, please be patient, accompany your child, and look forward to each positive change every day. 📌 All information in this article is for general reference only.

Below are before-and-after images of a 25-year-old male patient with microtia following single-stage endoscopic ear reconstruction using an artificial cartilage framework . After implantation, the framework requires time to “befriend” the body—gradually integrating and becoming a stable, natural part of the patient. As healing progresses, postoperative swelling subsides, the skin gently adapts and wraps around the framework, and well-defined contours and natural ridges gradually emerge, creating an ear that looks harmonious and balanced with the face. 💙 Patience during the recovery period is essential. Each stage of healing brings visible improvement, leading to a more refined and natural appearance over time. 📌 All information in this article is for general reference only.
