What is Microtia Reconstruction ? Do you have any regrets about having microtia surgery?

In layman's terms, microtia is microtia, which is broadly defined as one side of the ear that is smaller than the other. Nationally, the incidence of microtia is 1,3000, or 1 in 3,000 children. It is more common in boys, twice as many as in girls, and there are more right-sided deformities, with bilateral deformities affecting about 10% of the affected ears.

At present, the correction methods of ear deformity are divided into: costochondral otostomy and biological scaffold otomy. The use of costochondral otomy requires the child to be six years old and meters tall before the operation can be performed.

The use of biological scaffolds can shorten the age of the child's surgery to four and a half years old, weigh more than 35 pounds, and have a chest circumference of more than 60cm.

From the perspective of the development of costal cartilage, at least until the child is 5-6 years old, there is enough costal cartilage to reconstruct the ear, and at this time, the autologous cartilage can be used to carve out an ear stent of sufficient size. Psychologically, children's awareness of the body is usually formed at the age of 4 to 5, which is the age at which school begins, so it is ideal to complete ear reconstruction surgery before the child goes to school, so as to avoid the psychological damage caused by peer ridicule. However, the psychological effects may not be apparent until the age of 7 to 10 years.

Hello. It is the correction and repair of ear deformities.

You can go to No. 835 Anlong Road, Changning District, Shanghai.

Hello, because of the injury when I was a child, resulting in serious damage to one side of the ear, I need to do ear reconstruction plastic surgery, ** is estimated according to the condition and the hospital selected, about 20,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, in this case, it is recommended to choose a regular hospital for **, whether in the charge, or the doctor's technology and experience, it is trustworthy.

For Hengfang mothers, they all hope that their children are healthy and safe, but not all children are so lucky. Some children may be born with defects, such as microtia, that may require microtia reconstruction. So for children who have undergone microtia reconstruction, do parents regret it?

In addition to children with congenital microtia, microtia reconstruction surgery may be performed if the child's ears are damaged due to trauma, surgery, burns, etc. As we all know, microtia surgery requires the use of human tissue for remodeling, so children will suffer a certain amount of physical pain in the process of undergoing this surgery, which is why many parents regret their decision to let their children undergo microtia reconstruction surgery. After all, the pain in the child also affects the hearts of mothers.

But on the whole, only the ingredients taken from your own body tissues can better reshape the ear, and it is not easy to cause rejection, although the process is very difficult, but in the long run, it is better for the patient.

For children, if their ears are in a state of erection deformity for a long time, it will also affect their normal lifeTherefore, it is recommended that parents should look at microtia reconstruction surgery rationally and listen to the doctor's advice and plan, after all, a healthy body is a better choice for children.

The age of surgery should not be too old.

Choosing the right age for surgery is crucial. The age of microtia surgery should not be too old, because the bones become hard and the elasticity becomes worse when you get older, which will increase the difficulty of the operation, and the effect after the operation may not be so good.

Plastic oculosurgery is like creating a work of art, and the best age to create this work of art is 10 to 12 years old. The older you get, the less perfect your artwork may be.

Many parents are worried about whether the surgery will affect their children's normal schooling. In fact, ear reconstruction surgery has little impact on the child's schooling, and the child can go to school 5 or 7 days after the operation, but it is not suitable to attend physical education classes within 8 weeks. Because the materials required for ear reconstruction are cut from the child's own costal cartilage, the thoracic area lacks proper protection after surgery, and accidental impact can easily cause injury.

After 8 weeks, all the tissues at the surgical site have grown and you can exercise normally.

This surgery is a plastic surgery, so it is generally best when the child's cartilage is basically developed, that is, when the child's cartilage is basically developed, that is, when he is 5 or 6 years old. However, in the specific case, it is still necessary to choose the appropriate surgical method according to the specific situation of the deformity, and the hearing condition must be checked before.
