AACS Surgical Video Collection: Otoplasty technique with Dr. Angelo Cuzalina, AACS Fellowship Director.

This case involves two separate corrections — conchal bowl setback and reconstruction of the superior crus of the antihelix — and why addressing both is essential to a natural result.

Dr. Sebastian Gutierrez De Pineres, covers the surgical marking approach. Dr. Cuzalina then walks through the cartilage scoring, Mustardé suturing logic, how to avoid the telephone deformity, and how he uses intraoperative measurements before closing.
