This study details a rare case of bilateral macrotia reduction using the Davis helical advancement technique. This simple, reliable surgical method effectively conceals scars within the ear

Area of Science:

  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Macrotia, or large ears, can cause significant cosmetic concerns.
  • Surgical correction of macrotia aims to reduce ear size while achieving natural aesthetics.
  • Existing techniques may leave noticeable scarring, impacting patient satisfaction.

Observation:

  • A rare case of bilateral macrotia requiring surgical reduction is presented.
  • The patient presented with symmetrically enlarged auricles.
  • The surgical intervention focused on reducing the overall size of both ears.

Findings:

  • The Davis helical advancement technique was successfully employed for bilateral ear reduction.
  • This surgical method proved to be simple and reliable in execution.
  • The technique effectively concealed surgical scars within the natural folds of the pinna.
