My experience has been that this method of marking the incisionis impractical, on account of too much bleeding, unless the first incisionis very lightly marked out and does not penetrate the full thickness ofthe skin. The outline of the entire flap is heart-shaped. This area of skinis removed and should be large enough to overcorrect the or more elliptic-shaped pieces of cartilage are removed to relievetension and, when necessary, to reconstruct the antihelix. The edgesof the cartilage should either be approximated or inverted (as the casedemands) with fine catgut sutures and the skin with horsehair, the 422 PLASTIC SURGERY ends of whic
