Background: Ear amputation may be partial or complete due to congenital or acquired causes. Patients with Partial ear amputation are challenging as surgical reconstruction or implant prosthesis is difficult to undergo in such cases. Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to describe a technique for fabrication of adhesive suspended silicone prosthesis for partial ear amputation. Technique: The current technique provides an idea for simplified fabrication and easy replication of the silicone ear prosthesis through adhesive suspension. Conclusion: The ear prosthesis obtained through this technique is easy for application, economical and improves aesthetic of the patient thus having psychosocial benefits
