Answer: Otoplasty. What happens if it does go wrong? Permanent, unnatural changes on the ear are only possible if a traditional surgical method was used and too much cartilage was removed (sharp edges, indentations along the antihelix fold). These changes do not occur if protruding ears are pinned with the minimally invasive stitch method, as there is no working of cartilage with this method.

Answer: All depends on the surgeon and which technique is used All depends on which technique is used and the skill of the surgeon. Different techniques are more reversible than others (some are completely irreversible). If the surgeon is skilled enough, then it should not matter as much what technique is used since they will be able to solve any problems that may arise. However, even a skilled surgeon will struggle to fix/reverse problems after procedures involving removal/cutting of the cartilage. The flip side of this is that procedures which are more reversible (generally involving the use of sutures only) also have a greater risk of recurrence of the original prominence. So, it all depends.....
