Hello. Thank you for the question. Its difficult to give an accurate assessment of you without having the luxury of seeing your photos or examining you firsthand. Having said that, an ear length reduction(reduction otoplasty)  is possible at the expense of a scar. It really depends on your clinical condition and what your realistic expectations are. I recommend visiting your local board certified  plastic/facial plastic surgeon and reviewing your options, risks and benefits, etc.  

Hope this helps.
