Figure 4

Illustration of the curved retroauricular incision following approximately the helix of the pinna (1) leaving the fascia of the temporal muscle intact. A second horizontal incision (2) was placed along the caudal limit of the temporal muscle crossing nearly perpendicularly the primary skin incision and providing a stabile two-layer wound closure.
