Surgical method and process of cup-shaped otoplasty
To completely correct the cup-shaped ear deformity, it is necessary to repair the anatomical defects of various parts of the auricle. There are many surgical methods to correct the deformity of cup-shaped ear, but each method is difficult to completely correct the deformity of each part, so the effect is often not ideal and can only improve the appearance. For those with mild or moderate cup-shaped ear deformity, local ear plastic surgery can be performed; In severe cases, due to serious tissue defects, partial auricle reconstruction is often needed to be effective.

The common surgical method is to make an incision parallel to the upper edge of the helix at least 1cm away from the posterior medial surface of the auricle to expose the curled and deformed cartilage; Then lift it in an arc shape, place it on the posterior medial surface of cartilage at the ossicular part, and fix it with a few stitches intermittently with thin lines. If the formed spiral rim is not obviously curled, it can be curled by scratch method. This method can prolong the length of auricle and restore the normal shape of helix. For those with obvious auricle deformity, the antihelix can be formed and the width of the auricle can be reduced according to the auricle plastic method, but the new auricle triangular fossa and antihelix angle are not obvious. Antibiotics were routinely used for 3 days after operation, and after 10, the auxiliary materials and stitches were removed.
