Abstract
There are many types of ear deformities. The one that is most often seen by the surgeon is the protruding ear. These may be unilateral or bilateral. Minor degrees do not need operation but severe forms need done because they are often the source of ridicule and bullying.
This chapter will deal only with one type of operation, as there are many plastic surgical procedures that can be performed.
