Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Microtia is a congenital malformation in which the ear develops incompletely or smaller than usual; it can affect one or both sides and, at times, be associated with changes in the ear canal.
Common features: an ear of reduced size or with a poorly defined shape and, depending on the case, a possible effect on hearing on that side.
When to seek care? It is usually identified at birth, and an early evaluation is advisable to plan both aesthetic and functional follow-up.
Which specialist treats it? The plastic surgeon is the professional who assesses the reconstruction of the outer ear, frequently in coordination with other specialists for the hearing part. If there is a case of microtia in a family, the most recommended thing is to discuss it with this specialist to learn about the options.
