Abstract

Prominent ear deformity is a disorder characterized by ears that protrude away from the head in an abnormal anatomical position. While prominent ears are just as common in males and females, male patients have more difficulty because they generally cannot hide their ears with long hair. To correct this, surgeons have developed different techniques to reduce the need for invasive procedures and improve the aesthetic appearance of the ears. This chapter will discuss the unique techniques used in otoplasty, the special considerations for male patients, and a simplified algorithmic approach to the prominent ear.
