Otoplasty Ear Surgery - Can Ears Be Raised Vertically?

June 25, 2012

I'm wondering if ears can be raised vertically? Lets say the top of the ear reaches the lower eyelid level. Can both ears be raised so that the top of the ear meets eyebrow level? If this can be done how is it done? Would it leave a big scar?
