The 'suture-only' technique for correcting 'bat' ears provides an anesthetically pleasing result. The ear contour can be altered and remodelled without cutting the pinna cartilage, thereby avoiding possible permanent disfigurement. The object of the 'suture-only' procedure is to normalize a somewhat ridiculous and embarrassing physical appearance which may cause permanent psychological and personality damage.
用于矫正“蝙蝠”耳的“仅缝合”技术能带来令人满意的美学效果。耳轮廓可以在不切割耳廓软骨的情况下进行改变和重塑,从而避免可能出现的永久性毁容。“仅缝合”手术的目的是使某种有些荒谬且令人尴尬的外貌变得正常,这种外貌可能会造成永久性的心理和性格损伤。
