Abstract
A 6-year-old boy was seen in the clinic, accompanied by his parents. The ear deformity was evident, and the parents reported incidents of bullying. They did not use any non-invasive methods such as splinting and they are considering correction. The main anatomical abnormality was absent antihelix; therefore, we opted for a Mustarde technique. We advocate a detailed consenting process and teach-back technique for all our aesthetic interventions.
