Suture Sculpture Plastic Surgery Ears
Details Mustarde Suture Setback Antehelix Folding Otoplasty Surgery can bend a flat Antihelix pinning the ear closer to the head. |
 |
Anterior Cartilage Scoring Pinback Otoplasty weakens stiff cartilage creating a gentle bend lessening the work of the Mustarde sutures. |
 |
Concha Setback Otoplasty flattens a projecting Concha Bowl closer to the head. Spira's Concha Flap is a variation of this technique. In this example the concha is set back and the Anthelix folded - both were needed for this patient's ear. |
 |
| Earlobe Repositioning Otoplasty - can be an essential component to keep the ear balanced with plastic surgery. Dr. Bermant uses various earlobe surgery options depending on the deformity. |  |
| Hatch Sutures to Set Back Top of Helix - is another element that may be needed for balance during ear plastic surgery. |  |
