We investigated the complication rates, recurrence risks, and patient satisfaction with this modified procedure. In total, 26 patients (49 ears) complaining of prominent ear were operated on. Auriculocephalic distances were measured at three different levels, pre-operatively, at the end of the surgery, and at 4weeks and 6months after surgery to evaluate the efficacy of the technique. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a visual analog scale and the global aesthetic improvement scale was applied by an independent non-participating plastic surgeon at 6months after the surgery. The mean loss of medialization was ~1mm at 4weeks after surgery and 2mm at 6months after surgery for all levels. According to visual analog scale, patient or parent satisfaction increased significantly. The global aesthetic improvement scale rated the patients as 93.9% "improved” and 6.1% as "no change.” No rating was "worse.” There are many advantages of this technique. The operation is not time-consuming, does not require a dressing, and it can be performed in adults with local anesthesia under office conditions, with no need for hospitalization. After the operation, patients can return to their daily activities immediately. It is associated with a low complication rate and high patient satisfaction. This technique is a good option for otoplasty in patients with isolated, inadequate development of anti-helical ridge, and with soft auricular cartilage.
