Is it Possible to Have Subtle/Minor Otoplasty? (photo)

NYBigEars
Hello, I'm a 46 y/o man. My ears are symmetrically protruding, but that is not really my issue. The problem is that both ears are flat with NO FOLDING whatsoever on the anthelix (spelling??) (picture attached.) What I'm interested in is a procedure that will just create a VERY SUBTLE change, i.e. create a little bit of fold on both ears so that they will look more natural. I don't need them pinned back all the way to the head. Is this possible? What'd be the cost for both ears? Thank you
