Özet

Prominent ear deformity is an autosomal dominant inherited anomaly of the external ear. It's found to be affecting approximately 5% of the population. It most frequently results from two reasons, one being the poor developmental of the antihelix and the other being the overdevelopment of the conchal bowl. This condition can cause psychological problems in school-age children. One or more anatomical problems of prominent ear may be existing in the individuals. Several surgical methods were developed for these problems. More than 200 surgical techniques have been described up to date in otoplasty. These techniques are mostly focused on creating antihelix or on shaping the conchal bowl or the lobule.{line separator} Anterior otoplasty that provides an easier and direct approach was discussed. In this technique, formation of the anti-helical fold by excision of a crescent shaped cartilage, if required, and by using subdermal pull sutures under direct visualization were discussed. Thus our technique enabled obtaining the new level of the conchal bowl ridge.
