Abstract:
The button-down procedure for correction of a tag and cleft type of cleft earlobe malformation has been presented. The method is simple and easy to perform. We were able to add relative fullness with a natural look to several malformed earlobes that satisfactorily matched the contralateral earlobe in size and shape. The patients and their parents were pleased with our results.
