Reducing Ear Size
Reducing the size of the ears without surgery isn't possible. Reduction requires removal of cartilage and or skin, both of which require surgery.

The Size of the Ear CANNOT be reduced without Surgery
Reduction of the ear and pinning back of the ear both require permanent modifications of the cartilage framework. Such modifications require surgery.

Ear Surgery
Dear Patient,
Whether you want your ears pinned back or reduce your earlobe size, you will need a surgery. If your concern is general anesthesia (being put to sleep for your surgery), you can have both of these procedures done under local anesthesia (you can be awake during both of these procedures). You can consult your physician on what option is best suited for you.

Non-surgical Otoplasty
Dear patient,
There are several surgical techniques available to reshape ears, they are collectively called otoplasty. Whether it is a complex otoplasty or a minimally invasive technique all require incision. There is no non-surgical technique available to reshape ears or reduce ear size. Good luck. Dr. Kevin Sadati

Ear reduction requires surgery
There are no non invasive methods to reduce your ears. You will need surgery to accomplish your desire! And will leave scaring that may be minor or result in unsightly scars! Best of luck

Reduce Ear Size without Surgery
Thank you for the question.
No, there is no effective nonsurgical way to reduce ear size. Surgical ear reduction is effective but is associated with a scar.
