  • Title: Reducing Surgical Risks for Otoplasty.
    Author: Hoshal SG, Morisada MV, Tollefson TT.
    Journal: Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am; 2023 May; 31(2):253-261. PubMed ID: 37001928.
    Abstract:
    Prominauris is a common auricular deformity most often due to underdevelopment of the antihelical fold or overdevelopment of the conchal bowl. Significant psychosocial distress may result from prominent ears, leading to the development of a variety of surgical techniques over the years. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of both the normal and prominent ear is crucial for accurate analysis and surgical correction of the deformity. The procedure is well-tolerated and careful preoperative evaluation and adherence to meticulous cartilage-sparing techniques will lead to good results and low complication rates.
