Abstract
Stahl's ear deformity presents with an abnormal third crus of the antihelix and varying degrees of severity. This paper aims to describe a novel technique for reconstruction of Stahl's ear involving a double-reverse wedge excision of the third crus cartilage and skin, as well as use of Mustardé sutures to recreate the superior crus and Furnas sutures to complete the auricular setback. This novel technique for correction of Stahl's ear deformity produces a more stable aesthetic result versus classic otoplasty with desired auricular setback, minimal reduction in the size of the ear, and limited scarring on the anterior auricular surface. Reconstruction of Stahl's ear deformity can be accomplished using this double-reverse wedge excision technique of the third crus cartilage and skin with Mustardé and Furnas sutures to recreate the superior crus and complete auricular setback, effectively restoring anatomic harmony to the ear.
