Introduction: Various postauricular incision sites can be used for prominent ear correction depending on technique and surgeon preference.

- The study looked at how the shape of the ear, especially the antihelix (the fold of the ear), affects how people see the beauty of ears after surgery, like otoplasty.
- Surprisingly, many people liked ears with a prominent antihelix, showing that it's actually normal and not that uncommon.
- The results suggest that if someone has a prominent antihelix after surgery, it doesn't mean the surgery was a failure; rather, it could just be a normal variation of ear shapes.
