  • prevention of intra auricular deformity in prominent ear correction
    2013
    Co-Authors: Tomohisa Nagasao
    Abstract:

    The Mustarde Technique effectively reduces the prominence of the ear and produces an antihelix, but it has two disadvantages. First, the contour of the helix develops irregularity after its application. Second, antihelixes produced with the Mustarde Technique tend to present excessively linear shapes compared with ordinary antihelixes. The first problem can be solved by softening the scapha by scoring or thinning it. The author introduces some Troubleshooting methods addressing these disadvantages. In particular, theoretical rationales of the Troubleshooting Technique for the first problem – reduction of the contour irregularity of the helix – are minutely explained.
