The earlobe is considered to be an important attribute of beauty in most cultures, and earlobe decoration with color or earring is a common practice in many societies. A reconstructive technique for congenital or acquired deformity of the earlobe is described. In addition, the postauricular chondrocutaneous flap is very convenient for reconstruction of various auricular parts.
