    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Context:

    • Loop ear deformities present unique challenges in aesthetic reconstruction.
    • Existing surgical techniques may have limitations in achieving optimal aesthetic results and minimizing scarring.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a refined surgical technique for the comprehensive correction of loop ear deformities.
    • To evaluate the aesthetic outcomes and scar visibility of the presented surgical method.

    Summary:

    • The technique involves an anterior incision for anthelix reconstruction, interrupting cartilage to prevent helix distortion, and optional cartilage resection for auricle diameter modification.
    • A posterior retroauricular approach is used for conch dislocation and hypertrophy correction, repositioning the ear closer to the mastoid.
    • The described method aims for superior aesthetic results compared to previous techniques, with scars well-hidden in the helix sulcus.

    Impact:

    • Offers a potentially superior surgical option for correcting loop ear deformities.
    • Provides a detailed description of a technique that prioritizes excellent aesthetic outcomes and scar concealment.
    • Contributes to the field of reconstructive ear surgery by presenting an effective and refined approach.
