Reduction of Helix (in this case part of a Macrotia Reduction)
Details of this ear reduction otoplasty start here.
As the ear is reduced with ear reduction otoplasty, elements further out have more that need to be reduced. A reduction of height from 7.4 or 7.7 cm to 6.5 cm, results in a great deal of excess helical rim. Since the scapha has yet to be reduced, the excess helix determination must wait until all elements have been reduced.
