Abstract:
We describe a technique for using the monopolar cautery to sculpt ear cartilage to prepare it for use as a graft to reconstruct or support the posterior lamella of the eyelid in oculoplastic procedures. We have used this simple, rapid, and predictable technique in 16 patients with excellent results.
