it is very common for patients to have only one ear reshaped. I do it regularly. Your ear can be modified to reduce its pointiness and decrease the amount it projects.
The problem that you describe is not uncommon. Many people have small differences from side to side and that needs to be remembered postoperatively in that it may not be possible to make them exactly alike. Having said that, it is possible to make a nice improvement on the ear that sticks out by performing a standard otoplasty. The pointy ear may need some cartilage shaved, or bent in a different way. Make an appointment with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to see what needs have to be met.
Most here deformities/asymmetries can be improved understanding that absolute symmetry will likely not be achieved. It would behoove you to see a well-trained experienced otoplasty surgeon for direct examination and advice. Best wishes.
The cartilage of the ear can be formed and shaped to make changes in projection and contour. There are a lot of different ear shapes and irregularities but your plastic surgeon should be able to make the changes that you desire. Discuss you goals with a board certified plastic surgeon and you will have a good chance of getting a nice improvement. Best Wishes Dr. Peterson
Nearly incisionless Otoplasty is possible but may not be practical Incision-less Otoplasty vs Conventional Methods: My best advice is to pick the surgeon and not the technique. Few surgeons use the incision-less technique as it is a "blind" technique though this may be effective in the right...
The actual size of the ears can be reduced. Their prominence may also be reduced. However, it is important to determine what exactly the issue is, since “large” can refer to the length/width of the ears and/or how much they protrude from the head.
Yes, you can move the ears away from the head but it's a much more complicated procedure... as for the normal otoplasty surgery, this places the ear closer to your head and yes, you should be able to put your hair behind your ear after this surgery.
