title: Prominent ears.
abstract: The prominent ear deformity can be divided into two basic types, and combinations of the two. Two different operations are proposed to treat the cause of the deformity without foreign bodies or suture tension. The result should be an ideal shape. The ear should also feel normal and should not show any stigma of surgery.
