I didn\u2019t recognise myself, was as miserable as sin and just wretched.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly the wounds healed and I had to be patient for several months until the scar correction and reconstruction of the missing ear could be planned.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately half a year after the incident I was referred to Dr. Frenzel in the ENT department of the UKSH because of my ear. Dr. Frenzel was very nice, sympathetic and considerate and gave me courage. He thought ear reconstruction would be no problem in my case. Moreover, he also wanted to try and help with my scalp problem. A total of three operations followed in the space of approx. two to four months at a time.<\/p>\n<p>During the operations the ear was reconstructed from rib cartilage and scar correction to the scalp was performed. Even after just the first operation you could recognise a complete ear again and the large scar on my head was substantially smaller.
