AB ESSENTIAL  OF  DIAGNOSISProminauris  (prominent  ears)  occurs  in  approximately  5%  of  the  population.Conchal  prominence  and  the  absence  of  an  antihelical  fold  represent  the  most  common  causes  of  prominence  of  the  ears.Although  there  are  hundreds  of  techniques  to  correct  auricular  prominence,  the  most  common  are  suture  techniques  for  conchal  setback  (technique  of  Furnas)  and  for  creation  of  an  antihelical  fold  (technique  of  Mustarde).Otoplasty  refinement  techniques  exist  for  deformities  such  as  large  earlobes  and  excessive  helical  prominences.Complication  rates  from  otoplasty  range  from  7%  to  12%  and  may  be  subdivided  into  early,  late,  and  aesthetic/anatomic  in  etiology.Auricular  hematoma  occurs  in  1%  of  otoplasties.  Complaints  of  unilateral  pain  or  tightness  within  the  first  48  hours  postoperatively  require  prompt  removal  of  dressings  to  examine  the  wound  site  for  hematoma  collection.
