Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The ears increase in all dimensions over the years (eg, length, helix diameter, lobe length), but the most obvious change is the elongation or ptosis of the lobe. Its correction should be considered a part of facial rejuvenation. OBJECTIVES:The authors presented the surgical procedure they have been utilizing to correct elongated earlobes. METHODS:The authors described a simple and effective procedure consisting of the curved resection of the excess tissue of the lobe at its lower end and its reconstruction through the utilization of 2 triangular flaps of skin, taken from the lateral surface of the lobe, rotated backwards, and sutured to the medial surface, leaving a zigzag hidden scar. RESULTS:The authors have utilized this surgical procedure over the last 16 years to correct ptosis of the earlobe as well as some of its other alterations due to aging. The results obtained are presented as well as the classification that the authors have utilized to qualify their degree of ptosis. CONCLUSIONS:This procedure has yielded excellent results, with imperceptible scars, and is therefore very pleasing to patients and surgeon alike. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4:
