Is it possible to reshape my flat ear helix? (Photos)

May 15, 2017
Asked By:jim2017 in Chicago, IL

I have these odd elf looking ears with helix completely flat. Normal ears have rounded tips but mine is the cartilage glued together like someone ironed it. I live in Chicago and I was wondering how much this might cost me. Both of my ears are like this.
