Abstract: 

One of the most popular techniques for the management of prominent ears is the Mustarde technique. Although many modifications had been published all these started with a retro-auricular incision. Correction of prominent ears by Polypropylene thread is now gaining popularity as it is less invasive with minimum complication rate and can also be done as day-case surgery. In this article, we have discussed a case of the prominent ear of a young adult which was done by using the threading technique to correct the deformity. The result was good as there is a minimum scar with an aesthetically pleasing outcome.
