Traumatic loss of substance in the auricle requires rigorous reconstruction to restore anatomical contours and ensure a satisfactory aesthetic result.
We report the case of a young patient treated at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery at the Tangier University Hospital who presented with loss of substance in the upper pole of the auricle following a human bite. The patient was treated with a single-stage reconstruction using a sculpted costal cartilage graft and a local postauricular flap.
The postoperative course was favorable, with a stable, symmetrical, and aesthetically satisfactory result.
This case illustrates the importance of autologous cartilage-based reconstructive techniques in complex ear tissue loss.
