The advantages of silicone ear prosthesis reconstruction for microtia patients are that the ear can be made to look very realistic. It is hard to hide the seam where the silicone is next to normal skin. Matching skin color, which changes throughout the year, may be difficult. Repeatedly removing and replacing the device may cause breakage or the need for it to be readjusted. Children and adults may lose the device while engaged in sports or through any rigorous activity or it may just fall off.

A prosthetic ear is a simpler process with less risk than surgical reconstruction.

It provides an option for patients who are not candidates for surgery. For additional information regarding the product, please contact with dubuy support team.
