Microtia Ear Reconstruction Surgery by Dr. Sheryl Lewin
Video Transcript
So this blue ear is a special picture of your big ear, right? So we can make it bigger, like really big. Oh, and then we can turn it around. So that’s the back, right? And that’s the front.
And we can see all the detail there. Do you want to try? Do you want to touch it? Can you reach it? Turn it. Does it go like this? You’re turning your blue ear.
It’s not going to be quite that big though, I promise. We’ll make it just a little bit bigger than that one, okay? Does that sound good? Awesome. You, you’re a rock star today.
Thank you.
Dr. Lewin used her extensive experience to completely redesign PIER surgery.
High definition 3D scanning is used to make a precise mirror image of the natural ear, creating the most realistic implant available for ear reconstruction.
3D Lewin Ear Implants are created from an intricately shaped single piece of porous polyethylene, virtually eliminating the risk of implant fracture.
After years of research together, the pioneering team at Su-Por made Dr. Lewin’s visions a reality available to nearly all of her patients.

MICROTIA
Microtia
Microtia is a condition in which a baby’s ear does not develop properly, causing the ear to be small, malformed or missing. But microtia is not just a “small ear.”

Psychological Effects
Children may become aware of their own facial differences as early as two to three years of age. Although not always the case, microtia can have a significant emotional impact on patients and their families. There are ways to help our kids deal with these psychological effects.

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.

Myths vs Facts
Since microtia is so rare, few doctors specialize in the treatment of this condition. Learn about the myths surrounding ear reconstruction and what the actual facts are.

Dr. Lewin used her extensive experience to completely redesign 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.
