Accessory ear * * *, commonly known as microtia, is redundant tissue located in front of the tragus, which often appears on the line from the tragus to the corners of the mouth, and is caused by abnormal development of the first branchial arch. The shape and size of appendages are different, and most of them also contain cartilage tissue, some of which are connected with ear cartilage, some of which extend into the subcutaneous tissue of cheek, or are deeply placed on parotid fascia. Let me introduce the related knowledge of ears in detail for you.
Ear is a congenital malformation, which is formed during embryonic development due to the overgrowth of the first cheek. The shape and size of appendages are different, and most of them also contain cartilage tissue, some of which are connected with ear cartilage, and some of which extend into the subcutaneous tissue of cheek or deep above parotid fascia. There are often a number of cartilage tissues in the tissue, and the surface of its panel sometimes has color, which affects the facial beauty of patients.
Experts pointed out that because the appendage is congenital malformation with genetic factors, the probability of occurrence is 1.5%. Most of them can be removed by appendectomy. Appendectomy only needs to remove the protruding vegetation on the panel. Unless there is preauricular fistula at the same time, there is generally no need to dig deep into cartilage roots. Appendectomy is simple and takes a short time. After a few days, the scar will gradually disappear, so don't worry about leaving the scar.
