  • Prominent ears are a frequent source of patient concern and cosmetic worry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of detailed anatomical understanding for correcting prominent ears.
  • To highlight the necessity of precise preoperative planning based on anatomical analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the discrete anatomical elements that constitute the normal auricle.
  • Identification of the specific causes contributing to ear prominence.

Main Results:

  • Significant deviation from normal ear shape is readily apparent.
  • A thorough anatomical assessment is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
