Hidden ear, also known as buried ear and bag ear, is a congenital auricle development deformity. The main manifestation is that the upper part of the auricle is buried under the skin of the temporal scalp, and there is no obvious posterior auricular groove: pulling the upper part of the auricle outward with your fingers can reveal the whole auricle. The back of the ear affects the beauty of the ear, which can be improved by plastic surgery on the back of the ear. How much does plastic surgery for deafness cost?

How much does it cost to do plastic surgery for deafness?

1. In addition to a certain impact on the appearance, patients can't wear glasses because the upper part of the auricle is buried under the skin and there is no otocranial groove. Water also flows into the ear canal during bathing, which brings inconvenience to life and should be treated as soon as possible.

2./kloc-infants under 0/year old can try non-surgical therapy, that is, make special corrective devices according to the shape of the upper part of the child's auricle. Then it is fixed on the upper part of the auricle to keep it in a pulling state, so that the tense skin there gradually relaxes and reveals the shape of the auricle.

3./kloc-surgery is required after 0/year old. Adults who require correction can generally have surgery, children need general anesthesia surgery, and bilateral patients can have one-time surgery.

Plastic surgery of hidden ear

The simplest method is to cut the upper part of auricle along the edge of auricle cartilage, cut the cartilage to the root of concha cartilage, and then cover the wound behind auricle and cranial side wall with free skin graft. Because the skin graft is easy to atrophy after operation, local skin flap transfer or local skin flap plus skin graft is often used at present.

1. A triangular flap pedicled with the upper auricle was designed by local flap transfer and "V-Y" propulsion. Lift the triangular flap, peel off the adhesion surface of the auricle, and then fold the triangular flap downward and backward on the formed wound. The two sides of the donor site wound are secretly separated and then directly pulled and sutured.

2. Local skin flap plus skin grafting

This method can be applied to patients with severe deafness or low hairline above the ear. At this time, only local skin flap can not cover all the wounds.

Characteristics after plastic surgery for deaf ears;

1. This cause has no posterior auricular sulcus, which brings great inconvenience to patients. In addition to not wearing eyes when taking a bath, water can easily flow into the external auditory canal. Therefore, surgery can not only improve the appearance, but also solve the dysfunction.

2. The surgical method is to dissect the upper part of the auricular cartilage hidden in the temporal scalp and establish a stable posterior auricular sulcus. Specific methods can be divided into skin grafting and local skin flap batch transplantation.

3. Routine use of antibiotics for 3-5 days, suture removal about one week after skin flap operation, and suture removal 12 days after skin flap and skin graft operation. There should be no external influence in the short term after operation.
