Ear Reconstruction in Thailand: Our Best Clinics and Costs 2025

In Thailand, ear reconstruction commonly employs methods such as the Nagata technique, which utilizes autologous rib cartilage to create a natural-looking ear structure, and Medpor implants, which offer a synthetic alternative. These techniques are selected based on individual patient needs and anat
