Auricular reconstruction is a challenging issue. It can either be performed surgically or by the use of prosthesis. Definitive auricular prosthesis can be retained by craniofacial implants. Temporary (interim) prosthesis can be retained using adhesives, engaging anatomical undercuts and using mechanical means of retention-like spectacles. This case report proposes a new mechanical means of retention for a temporary auricular prosthesis, which can be suitable for non-eyeglass wearing females or for female patients who refuse to wear eyeglass for retaining their prosthesis.
