چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Most ear lobules with congenital pixie earlobe deformities are small because of their hypoplastic nature. This small earlobe makes it more looks like a pixie deformity. Ultimately, sufficient 2-dimensional expansion of hypoplastic earlobe camouflage pixie ear. Numerous surgical techniques have been introduced to correct pixie earlobe deformities.1–3 However, several of these techniques result in visible scars of the ear lobules and coccyx for demofat harvest as well as not correcting hypoplastic earlobe. We here report a new technique of using a conchal cartilage grafting combined to restore the normal ear lobule contour in patients with hypoplastic pixie earlobe deformities. This new technique results in no visible scar on anterior and inferior aspect of ear and definite enlargement of small earlobe to correct pixie ear.

Brauer (2) and Randall (3) are better known for improving this original concept, but Millard (4) credits Marcks for popularizing Tennison’s method while developing his own Z-plasty modification. Trevas...
