Abstract
Prominent ears are the most common congenital cause of atrial deformity. This benign condition can be treated by surgery. There are many techniques described to treat and deform the cartilage to complacency to achieve the desired shape. In this article we describe the surgical technique of cribiform otoplasty to treat these alterations of ear deformity. Cribiform otoplasty is a useful alternative technique, simple and easy to replicate to treat cartilage without damaging it, only weakening it and generating smooth contours and more natural results when treating prominent ears.
