BACKGROUND: Common otoplasties through incisions behind the ear with blind scoring or scratching the anterior perichondrium often leave an irregular surface of the antihelix.
METHOD: To avoid these tiny side effects, a skin incision along the ventral antihelical fold (scapha) is used to thin and fold the flat antihelix under vision. After local anesthesia of the ventral ear skin, an incision along the scapha allows its blunt lifting toward the concha and to expose the cartilaginous antihelix. Its future shape is marked and the thickness of the cartilage is thinned with a dermabrader by approximately half or until one sees the gray of the inner cartilage. The now missing perichondrium causes the antihelix to fold by itself with an absolute smooth surface and is fixed with three absorbable mattress sutures.
RESULTS: The technique has been developed in 1985 in Frankfurt and has since been performed on over 1000 patients with optimal results and a low complication rate. The skin flap is so well perfused that no skin necrosis and only 5.7% wound healing problems were experienced.
CONCLUSION: This approach from ventral is safe, timesaving, and avoids contour irregularities of the antihelix often seen after traditional techniques. It can be left to beginners in plastic surgery without hesitation. The fear of hypertrophic scars or even keloids can be dispelled with the fact that ear keloids only occur after wound infection.
