Incisionless otoplasty for prominent ears has advanced significantly since 1992. The latest technique (3.0 version) simplifies the procedure, reducing operative steps for improved outcomes in ear correction surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Prominent ears, often termed 'lop ears', can cause significant psychosocial distress.
  • Traditional otoplasty involves surgical incisions and sutures for ear reshaping.
  • Incisionless Otoplasty emerged as a less invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the evolution of Incisionless Otoplasty techniques.
  • To introduce and explain the technical aspects of the 3.0 version.
  • To illustrate the clinical applications of the 2.0 and 3.0 versions.

Main Methods:

  • Description of the technical advancements in Incisionless Otoplasty since 1992.
  • Focus on the evolution from the 2.0 version (2004) to the streamlined 3.0 version.
