Summary

Various forms of dressings, including proflavine wool, have been used traditionally for pinnaplasties.

We report the use of Silastic Foam as a dressing in seven of our pinnaplasty cases. The advantages of Silastic Foam dressing over conventional dressings are mainly:

1. Patient comfort.

2. No change of dressing is required.
