Asked By:Jnc1219 in Long Island, NY

I was born with no fold in my ears which gives an elf like appreance from the front view and makes them appear much larger. Can this be easily corrected? Is it invasive and what is the average cost?

Answer: Otoplasty surgery may be considered for forming an antihelical fold and positioning your ears closer to your head.
