As an extra fold or crease within the cartilage of the ear, Stahl’s ear is a rare deformity often compared to that of an “elf’s ear.” This is because the extra crease gives the ear a prominent, pointed shape. While treatment for Stahl’s ear is straightforward in some cases, timing is important. For instance, when the ear deformity is detected early, within the first few months of life, ear molding is generally an effective solution. Yet, when it is detected later, some form of Otoplasty surgery is necessary to reshape, reposition and bind up the abnormal cartilage to counteract the pointed shape of the ear.

Generally speaking, Otoplasty for Stahl’s ear involves excising the extra fold from the ear and reshaping it with stitches. Yet, because this deformity is a bit of an anomaly, it requires more than a standard technique for correction.
