The rise of the utilization of tissue expanders and procedures like liposuction
have brought us a better understanding of the biomechanical properties of the
skin as a living organ. This understanding has helped us to appreciate better
the etiopathology of a dog ear deformity and to utilize the same properties for
its correction by simple methods and thus avoid complex plasties and additional
scars.
