EAR OF THE DAY!
Born with atresia microtia - meaning he had no ear canal and an underdeveloped outer ear - this brave boy underwent a combined atresia microtia surgery with the incredible Dr. Joseph Roberson at the International Center for Atresia & Microtia Repair, and the results are nothing short of miraculous.
In a single surgery, Dr. Roberson gave him two gifts at once - a brand new outer ear and the gift of hearing.
The before shows his surgical markings, a road map drawn by skilled hands ready to change a life. The after shows a beautifully reconstructed ear, freshly sutured and already healing.
Dr. Roberson has performed over 4,000 atresia repair surgeries for children from more than 75 countries.
We are so proud of you, little one. The journey is just beginning, and it is so beautiful.
