description Facial tissue loss presents with multiple functional and psychological problems. Its rehabilitation can improve the physical, mental and social well being of the patient. In conditions where surgical corrections are not favourable, the prosthetic approach to rehabilitate the missing structures can solve the problems, with added advantages of having complete control over colour and morphological outcome to match the surrounding skin and the counter lateral part. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with the right auricular defect who was treated with a silicon auricular prosthesis and few ornaments were used as the retentive aids.
