[Incisionless otoplasty with conchal bowl recession]

Conchal bowl recession often plays a significant part in the overall success of incisionless otoplasty. Performing the appropriate pinna surgery is dependent on recognizing both a patient's antihelical fold and the conchal bowl problems. If either problem is undertreated then there may be a less than ideal cosmetic outcome. For ideal outcomes, subtle conchal bowl problems must be recognized and treated for cosmesis and stability of the correction. This paper will review the most effective technique for performing incisionless conchal bowl recession.
