Can I have earlobe surgery to close all of my piercings? (Photo)

charforsure
I am wanting to close up my five earlobe piercings because they were pierced very unevenly. They won't close on their own since I've had them in for so long, so I've been looking at earlobe reconstruction surgery. Would it be possible to close up my piercings with the surgery? (they were never stretched) and would the scarring be terrible? Will my ear look normal after? Thanks in advance; I have a picture attached.
