    AbstractThis article describes the combined conchal cartilage resection and mattress suture technique for the treatment of protruding ears. It is a reproducible, versatile, and safe procedure. The technique improves the protrusion, symmetry, and form of the ear by addressing the poorly developed or absent antihelical fold and the abnormally large concha. It has been used for many years and has produced consistently good long-term results.
