The best solution to all the ear deformities

Ear reconstruction using the rib cartilage technique is the best option for these kinds of ear deformities. The best material for reconstructing a new ear is the soft portion of the rib called cartilage. This framework is implanted into the skin pocket underneath the scalp on the skull where the new ear will be located. Since the patient’s own rib cartilage is inserted into the pocket, there is no risk of infection which might be associated with the silicone prosthesis. This ear reconstruction surgery provides excellent and long-lasting results.  The success rate of the surgery is more than 90%, which is an excellent success rate. This is one of the most preferred methods of ear reconstruction worldwide because it retains its shape and lasts a lifetime. People who undergo this surgery can absolutely lead a normal life with a normal-looking ear.
