AB  - The  ear  is  a  complex  cartilaginous  structure  enveloped  by  a  thin  fascia.  The  anterior  surface  is  highly  convoluted  with  a  rich  topography  (Fig.  8.1).  The  skin  here  is  stretched  tight  like  a  drum  and  provides  minimal  resource  for  adjacent  tissue  transfer.  The  helical  rim  creates  a  sharp  reflection  posterior  to  which  the  skin  and  subcutaneous  tissues  are  somewhat  thicker,  more  richly  vascular,  and  mobile.  The  lower  helix  and  lobule  contain  abundant  fat  and  are  loose  and  freely  mobile.  Toward  the  reflection  with  the  mastoid  scalp,  the  ear  receives  tendinous  muscular  fibers  from  the  auricular  musculature  which  are  more  adherent  to  the  perichondrium.
