I'm 18. I've got high set ears. (photo)

Question

Seen from the side, my ears are much above eye level, which makes my face look odd. The bottom of my ears are also much above the base level of nose, when seen from the front. The upper tip of my ears are also much higher above the eye level, which makes my face look odd from the side. Is there any cosmetic plastic surgery to correct it? Can it be rectified without surgery? Please help.

Thank you for your question about ear surgery, also known as otoplasty.It is difficult to make an accurate determination from the one limited photograph

To learn more about what might be right for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have ear surgery.

I hope this helps.

your ears are in a perfectly normal positions with the top of your ears lining up with the top of your brow. I wouldn't recommend any treatment surgical or non surgical to change this.Not very helpful I know but its the truth.Adam Goodwin
