Don't think that although the ear is small, it is very important. Especially if many congenital ear malformations want to be repaired, will you worry that the reconstruction of small ear malformations will be false? Afraid of big and thick ears after reconstruction, how ugly! Don't panic. Xiao Bian will give you a detailed answer to this question.
First of all, is not the reconstruction of microtia very fake? The answer is here
From a neutral point of view, the reconstructed ear will not be very fake.
The reason why the reconstruction operation of microtia is not too false is because of the process of the reconstruction of microtia.
Generally speaking, the surgeon of ear reconstruction will design the operation plan according to the degree I, II and III of each person's ear deformity, At present, the most commonly used method is the direct burial method of microtia reconstruction, and costal cartilage materials are mostly used.
The doctor will use the patient's own costal cartilage as the auricle support, and the shape and size are also built according to the standard of healthy ears. Please refer to the following pictures of ear reconstruction support provided by Alibang:
Then bury the dilator behind the ear, open the skin, and directly bury the carved auricle bracket under the skin, making the ear basically recover for about 1-3 months, just like our real ear.
The point is, The auricle bracket is completely covered by the supporting skin, and the skin color is basically the same.
Skin process diagram of directly buried support of small ear:
and When doctors let the ear support, they will also protect the sensory nerve, so after the reconstruction of the ear, the ear can also have normal blood circulation. Touching the ear is also the temperature of the skin.
Therefore, the reconstructed ear is not very fake, but it is more or less different from the real ear, that is, the thickness of the ear.
Then answer the question of whether the ear will be big and thick after reconstruction.
The thickness of the large artificial ear is usually thicker than that of the natural ear, The thickness of the reconstructed ear depends on three factors:
① Doctor's skill in cartilage carving
② Self skin thickness
③ Skin elasticity and scar hyperplasia
In most cases, when a doctor carves a stent (23) with costal cartilage, the thinner the stent is, the thicker the costal cartilage is (6) z.
Therefore, doctors should carefully carve costal cartilage as much as possible, control the structure of cartilage, carve ear support as much as possible, and establish three costal cartilage strips at the same time.
under these circumstances, Some skin is thick, but it is also easy to scar hyperplasia. Doctors do skin tension relief treatment, and basically do not worry about the large and thick ear reconstruction. The general situation can be reduced a lot.
In general, the reason why the ear is big and thick after reconstruction has been answered to you. If you don't want to reconstruct the ear with microtia, it will not be false, or a good repair technology for microtia is the key to avoid worry.
