Popis: Four cases of ear reduction for congenital macrotia and ear asymmetry are presented. To minimize the visible scarring the technique of helical advancement was used. The indications for this uncommon procedure are discussed with a review of the literature. This simple technique has been effective in achieving the desired reduction, leaving the scar hidden in the eaves of the helix, and we endorse its wider use.
