Autogenous Rib Method

Patient Information

This patient presented with a previously unsuccessful right total ear reconstruction . The cartilage framework had been made too large originally for the skin pocket so the added skin tension caused cartilage resorbtion. The patient still preferred to use her own tissues and so a complete revision ear reconstruction was undertaken with the Nagata method.

DISCLAIMER: “Aesthetic surgery is a serious undertaking and should only occur in the most highly skilled hands. It is important to note that all surgical procedures are invasive and involve risks and require a well-planned recovery period. Before undergoing any aesthetic procedure and addressing concerns about your appearance, consulting with a suitably qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon is essential to fully understand the risks and benefits. Additionally, obtaining a second opinion from another qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon is also advisable.”
