Nose Surgery

Question:

My child’s right ear is very underdeveloped.  When repairing the size of her ear, where is the tissue harvested for the otoplasty?

Answer:

I use cartilage from the opposite ear (conchal cartilage) which can be used as spare parts or nasal septal cartilage or rib cartilage can be used.

I ended up at Dr. Pontell’s office because my allergist told me I needed nose surgery to straighten my nose as I could not breathe at all! She wanted to perform the surgery but I wanted a facial plastic surgery specialist. Dr. Pontell is calm and not an ego maniac like so many plastic surgeons. He is confident yet not in your face…just the tyoe of doctor I was looking for.
Best of all…I can breathe now and my nose is much more attractive looking. Thank you doctor Pontell and your professional and efficient staff!
