Microtia reconstruction is performed around 6-8 years old and is often covered.
Insurance coverage for rebuilding the ear is possible.
There are a few options for improving hearing (BAHA or canal reconstruction) and
Several options for rebuilding the ear : (Rib graft or implant or prosthetic ear) can be discussed at your surgeons consult, but we wait for 5-8 years to start the repair.
One option would be to contact LSU Baton Rouge Facial Plastic Surgery for a consult.
