An earlobe that appears aged or malpositioned can sabotage the results of a well performed face lift. The most frequently noted sign of a naturally aged earlobe is increased length. Improper planning of face lift incisions may also result in disfigurement of the ear. The author suggests simple excisional techniques to correct the aged earlobe, as well as methods to avoid subsequent earlobe distortion when performing a face lift.
