Born With "Flat Tipped' Ears, Can Otoplasty Fix The Helix? (photo)

You can pin back the ears and also correct the flat ear look at the same time. This will likely also create some more shape to the helix as well. Making the helix curl more is another technique that is not as well established but can be done. A wedge of cartilage can be taken from the helix to promote more curving. No grafting will need to be done.

Otoplasty is not a procedure performed to fix the helix, it is a procedure performed to give more of an anti-helical fold.  The reason that the ears stick out from the side of the head is due to the lack of anti-helical folds.  The otoplasty procedure recreates the anti-helical fold and resets the entire ear backward against the head with natural appearance.
