Background: Suture extrusion has been reported to be the most common complication after cartilage-sparing otoplasty. Several studies have described various designs of postauricular flaps to cover the cartilage sutures and reduce the incidence of suture extrusion.
Methods: A total of 100 consecutive patients with prominent ears were operated on between January of 2018 and February of 2023 using a deepithelialized postauricular dermofascial flap that is performed as an adjunct to the authors' cartilage-sparing otoplasty technique, which is essentially a combined modified Mustardé and Furnas technique.

Cartilage-sparing techniques have continued to play a large role in modern otoplasty. Without invasion of the cartilage, the approach has been associated with less risk of skin necrosis, cartilage irregularities, hematoma, and infection. However, refinements are often needed to decrease the incidence of recurrence and suture extrusion.

Introduction: Microvascular free tissue transfer is the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. For many surgeons, the internal mammary vessels (IMV) are the preferred recipient vessels. The merits of the rib preservation technique have been previously discussed.

Background: Many techniques have been described to correct prominent ears, including cartilage-suturing, cartilage-scoring, and cartilage-breaking techniques. Understanding the topography and anatomy of the auricular cartilage is crucial for performing safe otoplasty with consistent results.
Methods: Two hundred consecutive patients with prominent ears were operated on using a modified Mustardé and Furnas technique with some refinements and without performing any cartilage scoring or excision.
