Abstract:
"Dog ear" deformity is a common skin tissue protrusion defect following surgical procedures. Persistent instances of "dog ear" deformity, which do not naturally resolve, may impact postoperative aesthetics and the quality of life for patients, necessitating a secondary corrective surgical intervention. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms contributing to the formation of " dog ear" deformities and the proficient application of suitable correction techniques are imperative for both plastic and dermatologic surgeons. This paper provides a summary of the mechanisms behind the formation of " dog ear" deformity and offers a detailed review of surgical treatment method and strategies. It categorizes the treatments and indications based on different types and locations of "dog ear" deformity and includes surgical diagrams for reference.
