This young woman wanted to reduce the prominence of her ears and add natural curves to the smooth area of her ear where she lacks an antihelical fold. She had the surgery performed under local anesthesia in her sutures were removed in eight days. Her ear was quite cupped before the procedure but now has a very nice shape and projection to it.
Surgeon: Dr. Chase Lay
Patient Age: 20
