Dr. Lewin used her extensive experience to completely redesign Porous Implant Ear Reconstruction (PIER) surgery.

High definition 3D scanning is used to create an implant that is a precise mirror image of the natural ear. This allows Dr. Lewin to make a much more realistic and symmetric ear than is possible with the traditional Medpor or Rib Cartilage ear reconstruction.

The Lewin Ear Implant and the 3D Lewin Ear Implant are created from a single intricately shaped piece of porous polyethylene, eliminating the risk of implant fracture.

After 3 years of research together, the pioneering designers at SU-POR made Dr. Lewin’s vision a reality available to nearly all of her patients.

Hearing Loss

Nearly all patients with microtia and atresia have a conductive hearing loss. There are several choices to improve hearing with aural atresia (a missing ear canal). It is important to understand the risks and benefits of each option.

Syndromes

There are many syndromes associated with microtia, such as Hemifacial Microsomia, Goldenhar Syndrome and Treacher Collins Syndrome. When other conditions are present, the kidneys, heart, eyes, craniofacial bones and skeletal system may be affected.
