Can my pointy ear be rounded out with Otoplasty? (Photos)

Thanks for your question. Most patients, young and old alike, are thrilled with the results of ear surgery. But keep in mind, the goal is improvement, not perfection.  Expecting both ears to match perfectly-perfect symmetry is both unlikely and unnatural in ears. If you’ve discussed the procedure and your expectations with the surgeon before the operation, chances are, you’ll be quite pleased with the result.

The left ear appears to have an excess of helical cartilage that is folding over and causing the deformity. While removing the redundant cartilage causing that folding is not a difficult procedure and could give a flatter and more natural curve to the superior helical fold, reducing the "pointiness" would likely require additional cartilage work. The danger of trying to do too much to your ears is that the skin is very thin over the ear and scarring can be difficult to anticipate as things heal down, so there can be a lot of unpredictabilty associate with surgery in that area.. Generally I would caution that the smaller the refinement the lower the potential reward and the greater risk of making things worse.
