Abstract
No single otoplasty technique can be applied to all prominent ear deformities. The factors determining the type of operative method are based on the surgeon's preference for and confidence in the technique as well as long-term results. However, all cutting or scoring techniques include a risk of development of undesired edges, defects, or deformities on the ear being operated on. One of the patients' complaints and dissatisfactions after otoplasty is an overcorrected ear in its upper half. This condition leads to the loss of helix and prominent and conspicuous crus superior and antihelix. The article presents a simple and successful surgical procedure for correction of the condition.
