Technology
The type of
incisions used for ear surgery will depend on the problem, and even when
only one ear appears to protrude, surgery is usually performed on both
ears for a better balance. For one of the common techniques, a surgeon
makes a small incision in the back of the ear to expose cartilage, then
sculpts the cartilage, bending it back toward the head; occasionally
removing a larger piece of cartilage to provide a more natural-looking
fold. Another technique involves a similar incision in the back of the
ear, skin removal, and stitches used to fold the cartilage back on
itself to reshape the ear without removing cartilage.
