My ears are too far back, can anything be done about that?

I know this sounds unusual, but I really hate how I look from the side, my ears look too far back and as a result my jaw is too '' long '', I wish my ears could be a couple of centimetres closer to the jaw, I look very pretty from the front but my side face is weird because of that, is there anything to do and how much would it cost???
