Otoplasty surgery, simple goals, but still requires skill and artistry
The procedure for reduction of prominent or large ears is called Otoplasty, while the goal is simple, (make the ears less prominent), the actual technique can require skill and precision. We make every effort to make the ears less prominent, but natural, not "pinned" to the head. We also really try to get the top of the ears close, something that is frequently missed during this surgery.
At the time of this answer, Otoplasty in my practice costs 2700$. However, as I'm reading...

Otoplasty can reshape the ear
Otoplasty involves using suture and cutting techniques to reshape the ear. Often this makes the ear appear smaller when in fact no reduction of the ear occurred. The price varies depending on the precise work needed by generally $3000-$5000 for a bilateral procedure.

Smaller ears straightforward
Ears can be made smaller in nearly every aspect. The size of the ear, the size of the earlobe, as well as how much the ear protrudes from the face -- all aspects can be reduced in a straightforward fashion.
The technique used depends upon what exactly you want your ears to look like, and this should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. The important thing is that you want your ears to be SYMMETRIC and NATURAL APPEARING after the procedure, and if you go to someone who has ample...

Ear reduction surgery
Ears can be made smaller, from the top down to the earlobes. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient and it's very well tolerated. The cost varies depending on what you would like to do surgically, but the range is usually between $1,000-$5,000. Earlobe reductions can even be done in the office under local anesthesia only.

Otoplasty surgery may not make your ears smaller.
If your ears stick out too far, then you're a candidate for otoplasty (ear reshaping surgery). This operation works well to reposition your ears closer to your head with an inconspicuous scar in the crease behind your ear.
The typical otoplasty operation that has been performed for many years does not make your ears smaller.
I've attached a photo of a typical otoplasty patient. I hope this helps, and best regards.

Otoplasty
Just a guess since there are no pictures, but I would assume you are talking about setting your ears back because they protrude. This is called an Otoplasty. At times we also reduce the size of earlobes. An Otoplasty is a larger procedure and is usually done under IV sedation in our practice and a total cost might be between $4000 and $5000 dollars. An earlobe reduction is much less.

"Large ears"?
You need a thorough evaluation with an experienced plastic surgeon or ENT surgeon to determine several factors. First of all is what you are unhappy with and what you wish to achieve. Next, he/she needs to evaluate your ear anatomy including soft tissue and cartilage structure, deformities of the cartilages, protrusion of the ears, symmetry, etc. Only then can the surgeon tell you what he/she can achieve with a surgical procedure. I have never had to operate to make ears...
