Area of Science:

  • Plastic and reconstructive surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Congenital macrotia and ear asymmetry present unique surgical challenges.
  • Minimizing visible scarring is a key consideration in aesthetic ear surgery.

Observation:

  • Four cases of ear reduction for congenital macrotia and asymmetry were treated.
  • The helical advancement technique was employed to address these conditions.

Findings:

  • The helical advancement technique proved effective in achieving desired ear reduction.
  • This method successfully concealed surgical scars within the natural folds of the helix.

Implications:

  • The helical advancement technique offers a viable solution for ear reduction with improved aesthetic outcomes.
  • This uncommon procedure is recommended for wider clinical consideration due to its efficacy and scar concealment.
