Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Ears are an important aesthetic feature that is vital to the overall attractiveness of the face. Although there have been many studies on the aesthetics of the auricle, there is currently a lack of consensus on the ideal proportion of auricle exposure for Asian women in frontal view.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate ideal proportion of auricle exposure in Asian women.
METHODS: An observational study was carried out on the photographs of 84 women on the list of the 100 most beautiful faces in Asia (published by TCC Asia in 2020). The proportion of the distance between the outer canthus and the outermost point of auricle to the distance between the inner canthus and the outermost point of auricle was calculated as the auricle exposure proportion. Evaluators were asked to rank a set of photographs of the volunteer with varying auricle exposure proportions from most attractive to least attractive.
RESULTS: Measurements of the photographs of the 84 women showed a mean ear exposure proportion of 0.600. With 487 questionnaire responses received, the proportion of auricle exposure that the evaluators considered most attractive was 0.600. People with aesthetic experience considered 0.625 the most attractive proportion, while the general group considered 0.600 the most attractive.
CONCLUSIONS: The ideal proportion of the auricle exposure for Asian women is in the range of 0.60-0.625, which may help surgeons reconstruct aesthetically pleasing ears.

摘要：
背景：耳朵是重要的美学特征，对面部的整体吸引力至关重要。虽然关于耳廓美学的研究很多,目前对于亚洲女性正面耳廓暴露的理想比例缺乏共识.
目的：本研究旨在调查亚洲女性耳廓暴露的理想比例。
方法：对亚洲100张最美丽面孔名单上的84名女性的照片进行了观察性研究（TCCAsia于2020年发布）。计算外角与耳廓最外点之间的距离与内角与耳廓最外点之间的距离的比例作为耳廓暴露比例。要求评估人员对志愿者的一组照片进行排名，这些照片的耳廓暴露比例从最吸引人到最不吸引人。
结果：对84名女性照片的测量显示，平均耳部暴露比例为0.600。收到487份问卷答复，评估人员认为最有吸引力的耳廓暴露比例为0.600。有审美经验的人认为0.625最吸引人的比例，而一般组认为0.600最有吸引力。
结论：亚洲女性耳廓暴露的理想比例为0.60-0.625，这可能有助于外科医生重建美观的耳朵。
