Otoplasty Before & After Case 249

This 14 year old asked Dr Parker to improve his prominent ears which he is increasingly bothered by. Dr Parker explained that his ears were prominent because the anti helical fold had not fully formed and his concha was somewhat enlarged. At surgery, Dr Parker created a normal antihelical fold, then slightly reduced the size of the concha and set it back into a normal position. The patient recovered easily and without pain after surgery. He and his mother are very pleased with the natural appearance of his ears, saying to Dr Parker, “you did an unbelievable job”.
