    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Protruding ear correction, or otoplasty, is a common surgical procedure.
    • Numerous surgical techniques exist for otoplasty, each with varying outcomes.
    • Achieving a natural-looking result is paramount in otoplasty.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate and compare otoplasty techniques.
    • To identify factors contributing to superior aesthetic outcomes in otoplasty.
    • To emphasize the avoidance of unnatural postoperative appearances.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing otoplasty procedures.
    • Analysis of surgical techniques focusing on aesthetic results.
    • Evaluation of postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction.

    Main Results:

    • No single otoplasty technique is universally superior.
    • Reproducibility of natural-appearing results is a key differentiator.
    • Techniques avoiding sharp cartilaginous margins and straight antihelical lines yield better aesthetics.

    Conclusions:

    • The ideal otoplasty technique prioritizes natural form and contour.
    • Avoiding the "operated-on" look is crucial for patient satisfaction.
    • Further research should focus on techniques that consistently achieve natural-looking results.
