FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to plastic surgery. Method includes skin cut on posterior surface of auricle on the edge of helix, separation of skin on posterior surface of auricle with exposure of helix cartilage and its shaping.

One cut from ascending part of helix to antitragus, the other - at the distance 0.4-0.5 cm from helix cartilage edge on it entire length, starting from area of ascending part. Both cuts are connected in upper part of auricle. After that, thickened ascending crus of helix is resected and its length is made shorter. Edges of antihelix are mobilised. They are sutured, with formation in the region of lower part of antihelix of tube, and in the region corresponding to upper crus of antihelix - groove, creating esthetically correct shape.
