Big scapha fossa resulting in large ear deformity and otoplasty ear reduction plastic surgery photographs in a female patient
This female patient did not like her big ears, mainly the size of the scapha. When asked what she did not like, she pinched the top of her ears and said "I want my ears smaller, please reduce the upper part like this." She wanted about a 6 mm reduction in the length of her ears. The patient said she was tired of covering her big ears with her hair.
She had been to other doctors for this problem, but had been told that there was no solution. After spending time exploring Macrotia Big Ear Reduction Surgery here, she requested and started with our preliminary remote discussion.

These close up photographs show how well the scars are hidden at the edge of the helix.

From the side, the better balance of the ear elements after surgery is obvious. The smaller scapha looks more proportioned.
