I Want To Make My Ears Smaller, Not Change Their Projection

Twentysix
All my life I have been insecure about my ears and avoided sports and other activities where you can't keep your hair down. When I look at Before And After photos of ear sugery I can only find pictures of prominent ears that have been fixed. I want to reduce the size of my ears, not change their position - is that possible? I have included a picture of my ear and some ear types I like. Would it be possible to make mines a little similar to those or is the structure too different?
