Below is an attachment with some general and independent information from BAAPS about setting back prominent ears. There are a number of different techniques for otoplasty / pinnaplasty available.
Here is a link to the original academic paper on Mr Gault's technique:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11711914 together with an independent review of its use in the general plastic surgical community.
Mr Gault does not use minimal access, endoscopic or EarFold techniques because of higher complication rates and lower reliability by comparison.
