Patient Stories
"Ellie was born with a condition known as Microtia. In other words her ears were very small. A 3D template was created preoperatively. In surgery we used her rib cartilages as building blocks to carve new ears; these were placed under her skin.
Carving ears from ribs is a complex procedure. I travelled to many parts of the world to learn the technique, including California, Paris, Tokyo and Beijing. The greatest reward for this effort is seeing the smile on kids' faces when they see their new ears."
