Correction of Congenital Ear Malformation

Did you know that as many as 5% of the population is born with some kind of ear malformation? Some of these ear defects, such as prominent ears, are a cosmetic concern and can be treated by otoplasty but others, such as microtia, involve the structure of the middle ear as well as the external part and can affect a child’s ability to hear.

As both an otolaryngologist (an ear, nose, and throat doctor) and facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Yagoda can address the functional challenges of a congenital ear malformation and correct the aesthetic issues as well.
