title: Prominent ears--Pitanguy's island technique: long-term results.
abstract: Through the analysis of 300 cases of prominent ears operated by Pitanguy's technique with a follow-up of 1-15 years we observed the preservation of the aesthetic aspect as well as the cephaloauricular angle. We call attention to its easy performance and almost no incidence of early or late complications.
