Auricular displacement (AD) and earlobe distortion, such as “pixie ear,” are commonly seen deformities after rhytidectomies.

In 2018, the authors of this article published a prophylactic technique (posterior earlobe rotation flap [PERF] and concha-mastoid suspension suture [CMSS]) to prevent such cosmetic-related complications in primary facelift surgery.

Here, the authors review the utilization of this technique to correct such deformities in patients receiving revision facelift surgeries.

The authors sought to demonstrate the usefulness of this technique in reconstructive cases suffering from such aesthetic deformities.

A total 25 secondary and 15 tertiary rhytidectomies were operated between 2015 and 2018.

A combination PERF/CMSS technique was performed bilaterally during each revision facelift surgery (n = 80).

A retrospective data analysis (preoperatively; 1 year postoperatively) was conducted to detect any deformities.
