Congenital Ear Reconstruction by Dr. Vicky Jain · Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
For a child born with an absent or prominent ear — and for their parents — the worry is as much about confidence as appearance. Dr. Vicky Jain reconstructs and reshapes ears to look natural, so children can grow up feeling like themselves.
Ear deformities like absent ear (microtia) and bat ear (prominent ear) are differences in how the ears look or are shaped. Some kids are born with one ear missing or very small, while others may have ears that stick out more than usual. Surgery can help fix the shape or rebuild the ear to make it look more natural.
Dr. Vicky Jain takes a thoughtful and personalized approach to treating ear deformities like absent ear (microtia) and bat ear (prominent ear). For children born with small or missing ears, he offers ear reconstruction using the patient's own tissue or specially designed implants. For ears that stick out, he performs a safe and effective otoplasty that reshapes the ear and brings it closer to the head with focus on symmetry and minimal scarring.
For bat ear correction (otoplasty), most children recover within 1 to 2 weeks. For microtia reconstruction, healing can take around 2 to 4 weeks, with full healing continuing over months.

After my accident, Dr. Jain gave me my life back—unmatched skill and compassion.
Took time to listen; I left informed and confident. Excellent consultation.

It is often planned between 6 to 10 years depending on development and technique.
Yes, audiometry is often done in microtia cases.
