Ear reconstruction is a form of surgery that can rebuild an ear damaged by trauma or cancer surgery, or misshapen or missing due to a congenital (present at birth) disorder. Along with surgery to rebuild or repair the ear, hearing rehabilitation with an otologist may be necessary. Otoplasty is cosmetic surgery on the outer, visible parts of the ear.Trauma or cancer surgery can result in tissue loss, requiring plastic surgery to restore the form and function of the outer ear.Ear reconstruction encompasses all operations used in the treatment of ear deformities.Ear reconstruction surgery can recreate a proportionate size and shape to the ear. Ear reconstruction is a very delicate procedure that requires detailed knowledge of facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery and/or otolaryngology (head and neck surgery).
