RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the feasibility and efficiency of refined Converse otoplasty with Ω shape for correcting prominent ears.@*Methods@#Refined Converse otoplasty with Ω shape was performed in 8 cases(3 cases of bilateral deformities)of prominent ears during January 2014 to September 2016. The postauricular fascial-perichondrial complex tissues were elevated through postauricular incision based on Converse otoplasty. The new antihelix was reformed by parallel mattress sutures though postauricular parallel cartilaginous incisions. The Ω shape appeared on the transverse section of the auricular cartilage after fascial-perichondrial sutures.@*Results@#Postoperative 6 month to one year follow-up presented satisfactory results in all 8 cases. The appropriate location and contour of the recreated antihelix was achieved. The included angle between fossae helicis and concha was decreased. The auricles were symmetric in both unilateral and bilateral patients of prominent ears. The scars were inconspicuous. Hematoma, infection, suture extrusion and secondary deformities were not seen in our series.@*Conclusions@#Natural and clear contour of the recreated antihelix was achieved by refined Converse otoplasty with Ω shape. Reoccurrence was not seen and complications were rare.
