Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Pixie earlobe deformities are prevalent in East Asian populations.
  • Patients often present with concurrent small earlobe size, requesting simultaneous correction and augmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for the simultaneous correction of pixie earlobe deformities and earlobe enlargement.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and aesthetic outcomes of this combined approach.

Main Methods:

  • Correction of pixie earlobe deformities using an upward-lifting V-shaped flap.
  • Earlobe expansion achieved with autogenous conchal cartilage and paracoccygeal dermafat grafts.
  • The technique facilitates both mediolateral and marginal earlobe expansion.
