AMORRORTU, J. et al. Prominent ears: stabilization with a retroauricular dermal-fat-perichondrium flap. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.1, pp.9-14. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922013000100002.

The treatment for the correction of prominent or valgus ears, is to create a normal distance (17-21 mm) between the mastoid and the helix and a normal appearance of the anterior auricular folds. From late 1800 to the present, many surgical techniques for correcting prominent or valgus ears have been described, each one with its own characteristics. We describe a technique to stabilize the result and prevent recurrence. This technique stabilizes the correction of the ear fixing it to the mastoid fascia using a dermalfat-perichondrium flap of simple design, useful, safe and easily reproducible. We have used it over 15 years, and that makes us believe that has stood the test of time.
