Question
How is congenital microtia treated?
Answer
Generally, reconstructive surgery of the external auditory canal and auricular cartilage grafting for artificial earlobe transplantation are required. The cost of the surgery is usually over 50,000 yuan, with certain regional variations. It generally takes more than 4 weeks for the wound to heal, and there is also a need to observe for any rejection reactions of the artificial earlobe, with the observation period typically lasting 3-6 months.
