Would I be a good candidate for an otoplasty? Can my helix be reduced vertically? (photos)

karasoft
While my ears don't seem extremely large, they prevent me from feeling as confident, feminine and elegant as I would like. Would I possibly be a candidate for surgery? Is there a way to reduce helix size vertically. I can't imagine pinning would be the answer... Would be grateful to learn doctors thoughts if it is worth a consult and if anyone can see what I mean. Thank you
