Abstract
Earlobe stretching dates back to various ancient cultures, symbolizing social status, cultural identity, and spirituality. Since the 1970s, it has gained popularity in the West as a form of self-expression. However, the use of gauges can lead to deformities requiring surgical correction. Numerous techniques have been developed over the past century to address this issue. This case report describes the use of the inverted “snail” technique, which employs two flaps, folding the medial flap into a spiral, and allows for a harmonious and symmetrical adjustment. It can be a viable alternative for correcting extensive deformities and asymmetries.
