Can my Ears Be Made Shorter and Moved Higher on my Head? (photo)

   Ears cannot be moved up or down on the head.  Ears can be pinned back or made smaller.  Kenneth Hughes, MD ear pinning otoplasty Los Angeles, CA

Ears are attached to the head, and while large ears can be made smaller, protruding ears made less protrusive, asymetrical ears made more even.....ears really are not made to move up, down, or to a different position. The real goal is to help ears blend in with the head & face, and not call attention to themselves.  Ears that are outside what the "minds eye" sees as too different will become noticeable. Or ears that are too small or seemingly absent do the same.     It would be rare to hear  "My, you have the most BEAUTIFUL ears!".    So keep in mind ears are not so much for added attractiveness, but to compliment other more attractive parts of the face by being harmonious. 

Can ears be made shorter? The answer is ears can be made smaller but not moved up or down on the head
