    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Prominent ears (otolaryngology) present a common aesthetic concern.
    • Otoplasty techniques aim to correct ear prominence and improve facial aesthetics.
    • Long-term success in otoplasty relies on precise surgical modifications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present refined otoplasty techniques for achieving superior long-term results in prominent ear correction.
    • To detail the application and limitations of Mustarde mattress sutures and cartilage weakening.
    • To discuss supplementary methods for addressing complex ear deformities and lobular protrusion.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing variations of the conchal setback operation as the primary otoplasty technique.
    • Employing Mustarde mattress sutures and cartilage weakening for thick, flat, or concave anthelix cartilage.

  • Implementing techniques such as radical postauricular skin excision, inferior crus modification, and periosteal sutures.

    • Main Results:

    • Conchal setback variations yield optimal long-term otoplasty outcomes.
    • Careful application of Mustarde sutures and cartilage weakening is crucial for specific cartilage types.
    • Supplementary techniques effectively address residual deformities and lobular protrusion.

    Conclusions:

    • The conchal setback operation, augmented with specific techniques, provides reliable long-term correction for prominent ears.
    • Judicious use of Mustarde sutures and cartilage manipulation is key to successful otoplasty.
    • A comprehensive approach addressing various ear components ensures optimal aesthetic results.
