Otoplasty: a combined approach.
The described procedures, alone or in combination, provide the flexibility to correct the vast majority of prominent ears. The techniques are easy to learn and very reliable. The deformed scapha, hidden helix, lobule prominence, asymmetry, and recurrent deformity should become historical. An esthetic degree of protrusion and natural appearance of the reconstructed ear can be achieved in almost every case.
