Pictures of your ears would be helpful to give you the best advice, but in most cases, surgery would be needed to correct any asymmetry of the ears.

Jonathan Berman, MD · Answer

Although it sounds mild, what you have is technically called an "ear deformity." As my colleague already stated, it's unlikely that an ear deformity can be remediated without surgery, as the cartilage must be adjusted. While more flexible than bone, cartilage is still very resistant to remolding. There is a new method to treat infant ear deformities, which works only on new born infants, called the EarWell&trade;. Boca Raton parents have reached out to me for this treatment but, again, it doesn't work on adults, unfortunately.  I wish I could tell you that there's a non-surgical ear remodeling method for adults, but there is not. Consult with a local board certified plastic surgeon and see what is involved in fixing your problem.To your health and beauty,Dr. Jonathan BermanBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonBoca Raton, FL
