THE OUTER EAR - PINNA

The pinna is the visible part of the ear. Its unusual form is created in the womb, when six small hillocks become enlarged and then unite to create pinna.

THE PINNAPLASTY SURGERY

People with prominent ears can undergo surgery to align the pinna properly against the head. The operation means that the surgeon has to increase the crease of the anti-helical fold, a fold which which runs vertically down the middle of the ear and becomes abnormally flat in patients with prominent ear.
