Could any form of ear surgery make my ears tilt less to the back of my head and appear higher? (Photo)

Asked By:willy42777

My ears are very low on the side of my head and it tanks my confidence because it makes me feel like i look weird. The top of my ear barely can meet the level of my bottom eyelid. I am trying to figure out if there is some way to make them appear more textbook and higher on the head. I know otoplasty can pin protruding ears back and reshape them to a certain extent. I would like to find out if there is some way to change the tilt and shape of the verticality of the ear.
