Abstract:	Congenital ear deformities cover a wide range of defects concerning the outer ear. Prominent ear, lop ear and microtia are most frequently encountered congenital ear problems in pediatric plastic surgery. The aim of this study is to present our experience in the correction of congenital ear deformities, with a special emphasis on the correction of prominent ears.
Description:	Auricular reconstructive surgery encompasses a variety of tech- niques for congenital deformities. In our experience, Pitanguy’s method reduces postoperative morbidity which affects the aesthetic results. Our preference is to plan the otoplasty as young as five years of age, after the child has expressed some concerns about the deformity.
