ABSTRACT

Background: To describe a conchal preservation technique as an alternative in the treatment of the prominent middle third, providing evidence of satisfactory results in otoplasty of the middle third associated with a conservative and gradual technique.
Materiales and Methods: A retrospective, observational, descriptive study carried out from January 1st, 2018 to October 31, 2022; all the patients had photographic follow-up and measurement of the cephaloauricular distance of the middle third.
Results: Thirty-seven patients were included. An adequate decrease in the cephaloauricular distance of the middle third was observed; in none of the patients was there a need for surgical revision.
Conclusions: The conchal “let down” is a technique that, in addition to preserving the integrity of the cartilage, is effective for the management of the prominent middle third.
