What Is MEDPOR Ear Reconstruction?
MEDPOR is a groundbreaking surgical treatment for microtia, an issue in which one or both ears are underdeveloped. A person with microtia might have ears that are abnormally shaped, small in size, or missing entirely. At Rodriguez Plastic Surgery, we understand the emotional distress that can come with microtia, which is why Dr. Jose Rodriguez is proud to help patients with MEDPOR ear reconstruction. MEDPOR is short for "microporous high-density polyethylene," the material used for these revolutionary ear implants. This state-of-the-art procedure, created in 1991 by Dr. John Reinisch, offers numerous advantages over traditional ear reconstruction surgery, producing a more natural, aesthetically pleasing look. If microtia is negatively impacting your life, we encourage you to reach out to our office in San Diego, CA to learn more about MEDPOR ear reconstruction from Dr. Rodriguez.
How Does Ear Reconstruction Surgery Work?
As with all procedures at Rodriguez Plastic Surgery, your MEDPOR ear reconstruction will take place at our office in San Diego, CA. After attaching the implant to your ear, Dr. Rodriguez will perform a graft using skin from elsewhere on your body. Because of the structure and material used for the reconstruction, it should mesh easily with your skin and blood vessels. A splint will be attached to ensure the MEDPOR implant stays in place while you heal.
What Are the Benefits of MEDPOR Ear Reconstruction?
MEDPOR ear reconstruction at Rodriguez Plastic Surgery offers significant advantages compared to more traditional techniques, such as rib cartilage reconstruction. Some of these benefits include:
- Can be completed in a single procedure, unlike other methods
- Fuses with your existing tissues to create an implant that looks and feels real
- Implants are as resilient as natural cartilage and can heal from most minor injuries
- Scarring is barely noticeable
- Empowers patients to feel more self-confident and may help to improve hearing

Dr. Rodriguez he’s the most talented doctor I ever seen. I had an accident dog attacked me and bit my ear. I went to the emergency at Sharp Grossmont. It was really bad. I was so lucky they got hold of Dr. Rodriguez and he did a superb job to put things together, and I am really grateful for his help and his talent. I can’t thank him enough. God bless him and bless his family.
Dr. Rodriguez is an all around nice guy and did wonders for me and my face. I was bit by a dog and didn’t know how it would look after and to my surprise he did an amazing job.
