The skull and ear angle of the elf ear are between 30 and 60, the auricle is funnel-shaped, and the thin tip above the helix extends upward in a semi-love shape, with smooth outline and uniform thickness. For most face shapes, this kind of ear has the visual effect of making the face smaller. It is similar to the ear of the "elf" in the movie, so it is called "elf ear".

Other ear types:

1. Veneered ear: the cranial ear angle is less than 30, the ear is long to the back of the head, and the auricle is attached to the cranial surface as a whole. From the front, only a small part of the ear can be seen, or even the ear can not be seen, so the ear patch will make the facial exposure more concentrated and full, and the facial area will be larger to some extent visually.

2. Ear: The angle of the cranial ear is greater than 60, the angle between the auricle and the cranial surface is nearly vertical, the shape of the auricle is slightly larger, and the spiral shape is even. The earlobe gives the ear a strong sense of existence, which will weaken the sense of existence of the face and five senses to a certain extent, but it also varies from person to person.

3. Riding ears: Also known as bat ears, the cartilage of ears does not develop into backward folds when the fetus is formed, but protrudes outward. The angle between the ear and the head is about 30 degrees, and when it is greater than 45 degrees, there is an ear riding problem in appearance.

4. Hidden ear: also known as buried ear and bag ear, the upper part of auricle is buried under the skin of temporal scalp, and there is no obvious posterior auricular groove. If you pull the upper part of the auricle outward by hand, you can expose the whole auricle, but after releasing it, it will return to its original state due to the tension of the skin and the elasticity of cartilage.
