Abstract
Prominent ears are common abnormalities that can have negative
effects on the psychological development of pediatric patients. An #otoplasty is a frequently performed cosmetic surgery used to correct
prominent ears. Although there are many otoplastic methods, all of them
have some associated risks and/or complications. Here we discussed an
unusual complication of otoplasty, frontal cicatricial alopecia, also
called scarring #alopecia, which refers to a group of rare disorders that
destroy hair follicles. The follicles are then replaced with scar
tissue, causing permanent hair loss. This complication was caused by a
postoperative over-stretched ear bandage and has not yet been defined in
the PubMed literature. #Surgeons should be aware of the amount of
pressure created by a bandage, as well as any possible tissue reactions
from the otoplastic materials, including the bandage, Beta fix, gauze
and sutures, to avoid this complication.Prominent ears are the most common congenital #deformities of the external ear, affecting 5% of the population.
