Thank you for your question and pictures.  You would be a great candidate for a standard otoplasty utilizing Mustarde (sutures to recreate the anti helix) and Furnas (ear setback) suture techniques. Otoplasty is a surgical technique used to correct prominent and/or asymmetric ears....

Fat grafting can be done into the earlobes although I like fillers there more, the look and feel of it.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I would say it is not a universal practice with any clear benefit but a personal preference which we all have in our approach to surgery.  I suggest you ask your surgeon for his/her reasons.
