Born With "Flat Tipped' Ears, Can Otoplasty Fix The Helix? (photo) I recently had a consultation with a plastic surgeon about having otoplasty. I was born with "flat tipped" ears, so my helix never truly formed into the full circular outline that normal people have. My ears protrude slightly, but they also have the flat tops making my ears larger and i have no fold in the top part of my ear. The surgeon said that she can create the fold to attain the more natural look and pining, could she fix the helix too? Or does that require grafting, etc? I forgot to ask!

A: Lack of helical folds

This is a rare finding and therefore there is less information available about its correction. Yes, there is a procedure that I have developed to correct this successfully which involves resection of a few mm of cartilage from the areas were more helical fold is needed from posterior aspect of the ears. The freed skin then is turned and sutured over a small round silicon tubing for 7-10 days and you will have a new helical fold. See the before and after pictures and good luck.

Do I Need Revision Otoplasty or Is It Not Worth It? (photo) I did otoplasty 1.5yrs ago.My doctor did what I asked him to: pinned the ears back but I wanted them to show a little bit,I didn't want people to notice the otoplasty. Strangely,I look in some mirrors and I like how my ears look and in others I don't like them.I don't know why I still have this issue with my ears. Is it worth it to do a revision otoplasty? Will this 'weaken' my ears long term?I do Jujitsu and don't want this to be comprmise training. I attach photos.Please give me your opinion

A: Otoplasty

This operation could be the most satisfactory surgery for the patient and the surgeon or otherwise. The reason I believe is due to tremendous psychological affect it has had on the patient as a child which has made the patient supersensitive and over conscious about their ears. From the pictures you have posted, your ears look perfectly normal and symmetrical although this is not seen normally. But the question is if you can convince yourself that they are normal? Good luck

How Can I Reduce my Ear Size Without a Surgery? How Can Reduce my Ear Size Without a Surgery

A: Non-surgical Otoplasty

Dear patient,

There are several surgical techniques available to reshape ears, they are collectively called otoplasty. Whether it is a complex otoplasty or a minimally invasive technique all require incision. There is no non-surgical technique available to reshape ears or reduce ear size. Good luck. Dr. Kevin Sadati
