Abstract
Abstract Background: The flat helix, the outermost rim of the ear, is a crucial anatomical feature that contributes to the overall shape of the ear, playing a significant role in sound collection and individual appearance. Aim: To correct the deformity of the ear’s helix, restoring its natural contour and functionality. Patients and methods: This retrospective research has been conducted on ten cases with a confirmed diagnosis of flat helix deformity from attendees of plastic surgery clinics of university hospitals. Results: The mean operative time of the examined group was 47.5±8.89 minutes. The average number of radial incisions in the examined cohort was 3.5 ± 0. 71.. Ten percent (10%) of the analyzed cohort experienced light hemorrhage post-operation, 10% developed an infection, 50% exhibited mild edema, 50% presented with extreme edema, and 20% encountered partial recurrence. The average follow-up period for the study group was 5.4±1.07 months. Ten percent of the study group were dissatisfied, ten percent were neutral, twenty percent were satisfied, and sixty percent were extremely satisfied. Conclusion: The procedure enhanced the symmetry, fixed the ear helix deformity, and reduced the chance of recurrence. Seventy percent of patients expressed high levels of satisfaction Conflict of interest: The authors affirm they have no disclosed conflicts of interest.
