SummaryPinnaplasty using the Mustardé and Furnas techniques is increasingly popular. One adjunctive technique that is often used involves the elevation of a fascial flap beneath which sutures are placed for additional cover, potentially reducing the risk of complications and possibly recurrence. This flap is traditionally raised with a proximal base, but it can be raised distally with a number of advantages as we illustrate. More significantly, we demonstrate the potential for an entirely new operation to correct prominent ears with benefits including a natural end result, simplicity, reduced operative time, less tissue trauma and the use of a single buried knot. We illustrate the use of this procedure adjunctively to reinforce suture-based techniques in a series of 15 patients.
