Aesthetics in ear surgery: A comparative study of different post auricular incisions and their cosmetic relevance.

Post auricular incisions play a very important role in the final post operative position of pinna and hence keeps a cosmetic bearing. This study shows that "behind the groove" incision gives a better post operative result in terms of minimal deviation of pinna and thus is cosmetically a better incision. This study also includes a new method to measure the conchomastoid or the post auricular angle.
