My ears are "too" pinned back for my liking, is there any way I can get a procedure done where my ears stick out more? When I pull my ear out more, it makes my face look more balanced.

Thank you for your question. Smoke is damaging to small blood vessels, and this is especially true for healing wounds. Avoidance of second-hand smoke would be advised, especially during the first few days of healing. All the best. -Dr. P
