A Different Approach for Protruding Earlobe Correction—Modified Fish-tail Technique

Protruding ears are the most common auricular abnormalities seen in children (1). Protruding ears are a condition that has social and psychological consequences due to its physical appearance and one of the main causes of peer bullying at young ages (2). While various surgical methods exist to address prominent ears, the options for correcting the lobule are relatively scarce. In this study, we are aimed to present the modified fish-tail technique that we have developed and to compare it with other techniques in the literature.
