Postauricular skin is one of the potential donor sites for split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs). ⋯ The postauricular skin is an excellent donor site for small-to-moderate sized STSGs (<10 cm). The donor sites healed well, as noted by the low scores on the VSS consistent with mild changes in erythema, pigmentation, and texture. The incidence of hypertrophic scarring was low and resolved with observation or treatment.
