This video demonstrates the carving and creation of the auricular framework as performed by Dr. Rousso after harvesting cartilaginous ribs 6-9. This is a modification of the techniques described by Dr. Nagata and Dr. Firmin.

Microtia Reconstruction Stage 2
This is the second stage of Microtia Reconstruction, the first stage was depicted in a prior video. The ear is elevated and lateralized to take its 3-dimensional form, and this is accomplished with use of an anteriorly based mastoid fascial flap as well as costal cartilage graft and full thickness skin graft.

Rhomboid Flap Reconstruction of Necrotic Cheek Lesion
The patient had an unidentified dermal filler placed outside of the United States over a decade ago. She developed a subsequent severe reaction which left her with extensive subdermal fibrosis and epidermal necrosis. Pathologic analysis revealed almost entire replacement of the dermal-epidermal layer with a foreign body and granulomatous reaction. The location at the cheek lower lid junction and the available lateral skin laxity deemed the rhomboid flap as the best option for reconstruction.
