An approach for the correction of cryptotia using a superiorly based superficial mastoid fascial flap and a skin paddle is introduced. The buried portion of the auricle was exposed through an incision made along the upper part of the helix, followed by an appropriate correction of the deformed cartilage. Protrusion of the upper portion of the auricle was accomplished using anchoring sutures. A small skin paddle was elevated from the caudal portion of the auricular sulcus with the superiorly based superficial mastoid fascia as the nutrient pedicle and transferred to the temporal skin defect. The procedure was performed in eight auricles in a total of seven patients with cryptotia. A satisfactory contour and protrusion of the auricle were maintained postoperatively, leaving the scar within the auricular sulcus.
