Abstract
: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the anatomy and embryology of the external ear. 2. Understand the anatomic causes of the prominent ear. 3. Understand the operative maneuvers used to shape the external ear. 4. Be able to sequence the otoplasty for consistent results. 5. Understand the possible complications of the otoplasty procedure. Correction of prominent ears is a common plastic surgical procedure. Proper execution of the surgical techniques is dependent on the surgeon's understanding of the surgical procedure. This understanding is best founded on an understanding of the historical bases for the operative steps and the execution of these operative steps in a logical fashion. This article describes the concept of sequencing the operation of otoplasty to produce predictable results combining the technical contributions from many authors. The historical, embryological, and anatomic bases for the operation are also discussed. Finally, the authors' preferred techniques are presented. Sequencing the steps in the preoperative assessment, preoperative planning, patient management, operative technique, and postoperative care will produce reproducible results for the attentive surgeon. Careful attention to the details of the operation of otoplasty will avoid many postoperative problems.
