Asked By:eidozz in Dubai, AE

I need to ask about macrotia /ear reduction surgery. I added my photos and need expert advise regarding reduction of my upper part of the ear. Although I'm living in Dubai, I couldn't find any one performing this surgery here I don't know why. I went to two plastic surgeon and they told me that I don't need to do it as they see that my ear looks normal. I see that my upper part is tall and wide and needs a reduction. Any advice please?
