Microtia Overview

Dr. Arturo Bonilla is a pediatric microtia surgeon who specializes in children's ear deformities including microtia and atresia.

He has dedicated his practice to pediatric ear reconstruction.



Microtia is an ear deformity that occurs once in every 6,000 to 12,000 births.

Children with microtia and atresia usually have severe hearing loss on the affected ear.

Although there is a hearing loss in children with microtia, the inner ears on both sides are usually normal.
