Is It Possible to Reduce Ears from 7cm to 5.5cm?

jose321
Hi, I currently have big 7 cm ears which are kind of deformed as well cause they don't have the proper fold. I have a small face so they just look ridiculous on me and they stick out on top as well so I can't have short hair on the sides.I want them reduced to about 5.5 cm each since I have a small face. Is that is realistic goal? How long will the recovery take and when will I be able to resume my regular activities? Cost-wise, I was thinking somewhere around $5K to $7K?
