At the Yuveo Clinic Düsseldorf, we have other ear placement methods at our disposal with which we can achieve good results.
The incision can also be made from the front of the ear, for example.
Cartilage weakening for ear placement
Weakening the cartilage by rasping can be omitted if the cartilage is weak. Another option for weakening the cartilage when creating the ears is grinding. We use a fine ball burr to thin out the cartilage from behind.
Cartilage removal
The decision to remove a spindle-shaped section of cartilage at the base of the pinna is made differently in the ear placement methods. Here we must pay attention to a particularly accurate technique and suture, as otherwise visible steps may remain.
Earlobes
From time to time, it is also desired to combine the creation of the ears with an earlobe correction . If it is only a matter of a protruding earlobe with protruding ears, we can improve the position of the earlobe by removing a spindle-shaped area of skin on the back.
