Comparative Study between Ear Lobe Push Down Versus Ear Lobe Transposition in Microtia Reconstruction
Abstract:Background: In microtia, there is a remnant of the malpositioned lobe and deformed auricle. To achieve an aesthetically appealing consistent ear; there must be a balanced 3-dimensional structural support, and there must be an adjustment of the skin to the framework.

Patients and methods: Twenty cases presen… Show more
