The Long-term Results of Earfold Implantable Clip for the Correction of Protruding Ears: A Plastic Surgeon's Experience with an Initial 19 Cases

The Earfold™ implant is a promising, minimally invasive alternative for standard otoplasty treatment. Nevertheless, in our series, a notable high complication rate was observed, often necessitating implant removal, particularly in the long term. Despite recognizing a learning curve, the surgeon in this study chose to discontinue the use of Earfold™ implants.

Abstract

The Earfold™ implant is a promising, minimally invasive alternative for standard otoplasty treatment. Nevertheless, in our series, a notable high complication rate was observed, often necessitating implant removal, particularly in the long term. Despite recognizing a learning curve, the surgeon in this study chose to discontinue the use of Earfold™ implants.
