You have 4 options when it comes to Microtia… Do nothing – leave the ear as it is Reconstruction using Rib Graft (cartilage is taken from the ribs) Reconstruction using Medpor (a synthetic material) Have a prosthetic ear made. Each option has advantages and disadvantages. No option is “perfect”, and there are no right or wrong options. You need to weigh up each option and choose which is right for you and your child.
