Whenever surgeons deal with patients who need the ear surgery to get rid of their protruding ears, they will try to make the incision in the back folds of the ear in order to decline the appearance of the scarring.

In the case of protruding ears, the cartilage is reduced from the conchal bowl (which is behind the ear) to obtain a smaller appearance. The surgeon can increase or decrease the antihelical fold on the basis of proportions that can be best suited to the face. Non-removable sutures are used to develop a new ear shape along with maintaining the shape of cartilage already in place. External sutures will close the incision from the backside of the ear once the ear gets the new shape with the non-removable sutures. Ears get their natural shape with these methods. This was not possible in the past when the pinning back of the ears caused an unnatural look. The patient can immediately feel the effects after the completion of the above mentioned process. The surgeon will dress your ears with proper dressings to support any types of healing. Since the locations of the incisions are smartly chosen, these operations will probably never leave you with any scars.
