A Novel Approach to Upper Pole Correction in Otoplasty: Addressing the Surprisingly Neglected Inferior Crus

Anatomical correction of the inferior crus is a critical and effective strategy for prominent upper pole. The proposed technique, along with the ICMGS and upper pole declination angle, provides a reliable and durable solution with superior objective and subjective outcomes and a lower revision rate compared to traditional methods.
