There are no easy options/surgeries to increase the size of the ear.  If the ear is cupped, there may be some options. It is difficult to say without photos

There are ways to reconstruct your ears by adding tissue but that is mostly done for patients that have cancer. I would recommend looking at plastic surgery offices around your area and calling and consulting with more than one practice to see what they suggest.
