Would it be possible to repair a broken antihelix cartilage? (Photo)

Typically, surgeons who specialize in rhinoplasty do not use ear cartilage because it is not strong enough to adequately support the nose. Costal cartilage—either autologous or cadaveric—is generally preferred.That said, attempting to "re-insert" the ear cartilage would likely not...

Thank you for your photo. It appears that very top point of your antihelix is not bent enough. Placing an additional suture in this area to bend the antihelix more should also bring your helical rim back toward your head to give you a better balance. This should be able to be performed under...

I’m sorry you did not achieve the outcome you were hoping for. Your ears appear over-pinned, creating an unnatural look with the upper portion positioned too close to the head. The bifurcated cartilage along the lower aspect of the antihelix is also unusual unless it was present before s...

You actually have an excellent and very natural result. Slight asymmetries are normal, and perfect symmetry is never achievable. Yes—as a surgeon, I can appreciate the small difference, but I am confident it is not noticeable in daily life to most people. Attempting a revision to correct...

If your goal is to reposition your ear closer to your head so they don't stick out as much, otoplasty surgery may be considered for setting back your Concha, and for creating an antihilical fold. Keloid scarring is associated with otoplasty surgery, along with people with darker skin types. I...

See from your photo that you do not appear to have a well -formed antihelical fold, and perhaps your earlobe sticks out a bit. I'm not quite sure if this fits into a category of deformity, however, the feasibility of improving the appearance of your ear would require an examination. I hope this...
