Surgery Elements for Macrotia Ear Reduction Surgery Can Vary Depending on the Problem to be Treated.

Exposure for Ear Reduction Surgery |

Reduction of the Concha Bowl and Antihelix reduces the length of these structures and the ear in general. |
 |
Concha and Anthelix Repair sculpture matches the cartilage and skin elements. |

Reducing the Scaphoid Fossa decreases the top part of the ear. Some patients need just a Reduction Scapha Otoplasty for a disproportionately large scapha. |
 |
Helix Rim and Auricle Reduction: With the ear reduced, the Helix Rim is too long. |
 |
