    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Prominent or protruding ears are a common congenital condition.
    • Surgical correction aims to improve aesthetics and patient self-esteem.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of surgical techniques for prominent ears.
    • To report complications and cosmetic results in a series of patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical treatment was performed on 78 patients (110 ears) using cartilage excision-incision with horizontal mattress sutures.
    • An additional 42 ears were treated with horizontal mattress sutures alone, with or without cartilage scoring.

    Main Results:

    • A high rate of good cosmetic results (94.7%) was achieved across all treated ears.
