Many techniques have been described to correct prominent ears including cartilage suturing, cartilage scoring and cartilage breaking techniques.

Understanding the topography and anatomy of the auricular cartilage is crucial to perform safe otoplasty with consistent results.

200 consecutive patients with prominent ears were operated on using a modified Mustarde and Furnas technique with some refinements and without performing any cartilage scoring or excision.

Adequate dissection and exposure of cartilage as well as precise repositioning of the tail of helix (cauda helicis) are keys to correction of lobule prominence without the need for any adjunctive procedures such as skin excision from the back of the lobule nor suture fixation of the lobular tissues to the concha, mastoid or scalp.

Detailed description of the technique and review of the complications are presented.
