This website has been many months in the making, and will undoubtedly transform a great deal over the next several months. The goal of Aesthetic Ear Reconstruction is to help each family dealing with Microtia to understand their child’s needs and treatment options. With that in mind, this website was written for families.
One of the most amazing things I have discovered as a Microtia Surgeon is the tremendous desire of those who have gone through the process to help those microtia families who are just embarking on it. Those who have gone through the process have contributed in many ways to this website. Many features have been designed to give parents and their children a rich understanding of what it means to have Medpor ear surgery with Dr. Lewin. Please check out the FOR PARENTS & KIDS tab and the VIDEOS on the home page.
The MICROTIA tab has detailed information describing both types of surgical techniques for microtia repair.
Great attention to detail has been taken in creating the PATIENT GALLERY, which has many before and after pictures to show patients and their parents what a reconstructed ear looks like. It is our experience that only through the careful examination of many views, and comparison of the before-and-after ears, that one can fully appreciate the appearance of the reconstructed ear.
As a surgeon who is also a mother, I understand the pressure to make the right decision for your child and the desire to place him or her in the care of someone that you trust. It is my hope that this website assists you in that process.
