Prominent Ears fixed under local anesthesia

12-21-2009
An 11 year old girl and a young man had Otoplasty for prominent ears. Both surgeries went very smoothly with minimal anesthesia. Mustarde sutures were used to create antihelical folds to bring the superior aspect of the ears back and to make the ears look more normal. In the midsection of the ear further Mustarde sutures were used and conchomastoidal sutures to bring the central part of the ear closer to the head. Both patients are comfortable and are recovering with clean bandages. A Rabbi's son was in today who had his finger removed by a door. In between the ears I fixed his finger. I also made nipples for a bilateral Mastectomy patient in between the prominent ear repairs. A follow up patient is waiting. Back to work....
