Background:
Some loop ear surgical procedures include cartilage section or abrasion, while others involve antihelix folding by simple suture.
Methods:
Our results with the Mustardé technique are presented. This procedure avoids an aggressive action on the ear cartilage and makes antihelix folding easier.
Results:
Good aesthetic results were obtained in all our patients, with a low complication rate.
Conclusions:
We conclude this cartilage technical procedure has an advantage over the aggressive ones, with a low complication rate.
