In one case prototype prominent ears is incised into the groove behind the left ear cartilage beneath the skin to shape it does not have is sculpted and, if necessary, some points are given to maintain Thus. The wound is closed leaving a scar right there in the crease behind the ear. In other to be hidden, this healing is usually good and unnoticed over the months.
