Objective To explore the method of elevating and fixing the auricular cartilage scaffold to adjust the overall height of the auricle. Methods A corresponding incision was made behind the ear, and then separate and release the adhesion between the back of the auricular cartilage scaffold and the cranial wall. Several stitches were sewn at the corresponding position on the bottom of the cymba auriculae, and the cartilage scaffold was lifted and fixed on the periosteum of the cranial wall to elevate the cartilage scaffold to normal height or the same height as the contralateral side. Results Sixty-five cases of various deformities of the auricle were clinically treated after 6 to 12 months of follow-up. The height of all other patients' auricles was improved, and the height of both auricles was symmetrical except for one patient with cryptotia deformity who had a loose fixation causing the stent to move down again, three patients with cup ears and two other ear deformities due to the ear being smaller than the normal side. The lifting height of all auricles is (0.6±0.4) cm. The patient satisfaction rate is 87.7%. Conclusion This method can significantly improve the overall height of the auricle while correcting cartilage abnormalities, making the two auricles more symmetrical, and the effect is satisfactory.
