Is It Possible to Get Only a Minor Change with Otoplasty?

otoplasty
Hello, I have ears that stick out quite a lot. I am considering otoplasty. However, I don't want my ears to be flat against my head. Also I would rather others didn't notice that I had this operation. Would it be possible to get only a minor change with otoplasty, so that my ears would still protrude but look aesthetically? I mean, to lessen the angle they protrude only a little. Thank you.
