Oct 11, 2015 · You do have a slight anti helical fold in both ears. Accentuating the fold (as is typically done in a regular otoplasty) would not improve the "long" appearance of the ear. There is a lot of distance between your anti helical fold and the helical rim of the ear. The area between the anti helical fold and the rim is called the scapha.

I had Mohs surgery immediately in front of my ear ten days ago and the scar is the length of my ear. Even though my ear wasn't touched, except for a teeny bit of the lobe, it feels like I have a finger in my ear, and sometimes I ache a lot below/behind my ear. My ear also feels really uncomfortable when I make certain facial movements.

There is a couple of ways to weaken the cartilage, making the chances of the ear sticking back out and it involves use of an instrument called "otobrader" which is a small metal rod with a barb. You can also do an open technique and make …

Feb 1, 2012 · You have a normal helix and a poorly developed ANTI-helix. This is one of the 2 main causes of prominent ear (the other is excess cartilage in the deep bowl of the ear). Recreating the anti-helix is done with carefully placed, permanent sutures. The ear can be set back as well as needed. None of these procedures require any grafting material.

Dec 16, 2010 · Answer: Ear helix keloids can be removed with surgery This ear helix keloid may involve cartilage and should be removed in the early phase to prevent deformity of the ear. I routinely remove these keloids with surgery in my LA practice.

Nov 23, 2017 · You have a Darwin's tubercle, a small cartilage knob on the helix. This can be easily removed under local anesthesia in the office. Minor asymmetry could persist as you may have a slightly flatter helix on that side as well, but this is usually NOT detectable to the casual observer even if the patient notices it.

May 15, 2017 · From the pictures you posted it's difficult to determine whether your ear shape is caused by unfurled helical rim cartilage with redundant helical rim skin or whether it involves a third crus (stahl ear) deformity. Without knowing the cause of the issue it would hard to give an accurate cost estimate for the procedure.

What you have is a helical deficiency of the upper 1/3 of the ear. The absence of adequate cartilage development makes the helical root more pointy in appearance. This can be improved by cartilage grafting of the outer helix to expand the helical rim and increase upper ear height and give a more rounded appearance to it.

Sep 11, 2010 · Ear lacerations can be quite complex. In general, if the cartilage of the ear is lacerated, the cartilage itself would have to be stitched (sutured) to position it for proper healing. Once the cartilage repair is done, the skin can be repaired with as many stitches as necessary.

Sep 18, 2014 · This could be done, although I would have to see a picture of your ears to understand their "pointyness." The outer rim of the ear, called the helix, can be somewhat reshaped by reshaping the scapha portion of the ear. The scapha comprises a portion of the ear just inside the arc that forms the helix. Just imagine if you had to reshape a square ...
