What is prominent ear deformity?

Protruding ear deformity is the congenital separation of the ear from the skull, unilaterally or bilaterally, at a wide angle and the absence of folds. Congenital ear abnormalities are common, with prominent ears being the most common. When people talk about prominent ears, there is a perception of big ears. In fact, the ear size of a person with a normal ear structure and a person with a prominent ear is the same. The problem is only with the shape of the ear cartilages. The ear cartilage folds of these types of patients are not formed unilaterally or bilaterally.
 
The angle formed by the head and ear may be wider than normal. This makes the ear look open to the outside. This is especially evident when viewed from behind. The folds that should be in the upper half of the ear are not formed and the ear appears flat.

Causes of Prominent Ear

However, the reason for most applications for prominent ear aesthetics is genetic transmission. The presence of someone in the family with large or prominent ears is a risk factor for the child.

The incision location varies depending on the surgeon's preference. Sometimes the incision is made right behind the ear, sometimes the front of the ear is preferred. It allows the surgical scar to be hidden much more easily in the incision behind the ear. Most patients who apply for prominent ear surgery complain of short ear folds. In other words, the angulation between the ear and the scalp is normal. The "modified kaye" method can be used in these patients.
