Background: Human ear growth continues beyond puberty, resulting in ears that are typically approximately 10 millimeters (mm) larger in older individuals compared to their younger counterparts. Not only is the overall growth of the ear an indicator of age, but also the disproportionate growth of its parts. The largest part, the concha, shows the slowest growth rate, while the smallest part, the earlobe, shows the greatest growth rate.

A large keloid on the right earlobe that extended to the infraauricular region was the reason for the 42-year-old woman's referral for treatment. The entire thickness of the earlobe was implicated in the surgical defect that resulted from the severe keloid excision. We employed a straightforward technique to provide a pleasing appearance while repairing the entire lobe in a single stage without the need for grafts.

Because the auricle plays an important role in facial aesthetics, all earlobe operations must seek to limit postoperative ear deformity. This report describes the single-stage posterior-auricle bilobed cartilage-skin flap technique for reconstructing the earlobe. A 31-year-old man incurred a left earlobe deficiency due to a human bite.
