For comparison of two methods , auriculocephalic distances were measured at three levels which were level 1 ( the most superior point of the auricle ) , level 2 ( the midpoint of the auricle ) and level 3 ( level of the lobule ) pre-operatively ( preop ) ; and measurements were repeated at the end of the surgery ( PO ( 0-day ) ) , 1st month ( PO ( 1-Mo ) ) and 6th month ( PO ( 6-Mo ) ) after the surgery , in both groups .
