Ear & microtia surgery

Correction and reconstruction of the outer ear, including microtia, drawing on a reconstructive surgical background.

Surgeon

Dr. Saleh Alqaryan

Setting

Private practice, Riyadh

Consultation

By appointment

Introduction

Surgery of the outer ear addresses its shape, size and position. Microtia is a congenital difference in which the outer ear is underdeveloped; it varies in degree and is assessed individually.

Ear reconstruction sits close to Dr. Saleh’s reconstructive training, where rebuilding structure and restoring form are the central problem rather than an addition to an aesthetic procedure.

Considerations discussed in consultation

01

The concern raised

Shape, size or position of the ear, and what the patient or family would like addressed.

02

Existing ear structure

03

Timing

When surgery is appropriate depends on the individual case and is discussed directly in consultation.

04

Medical history

General health, current medications, allergies and any previous ear surgery are reviewed.
