The most common procedure used to treat this problem is called an otoplasty. It is a very safe procedure that involves a small incision on the backside of the ear with the placement of sutures to realign the ears into a more favorable position. I am not aware of any non-surgical or non-invasive techniques that offer the same result.
Your ears can be brought into the position shown in the second photo that you posted. However, this cannot be done without surgery, although nowadays one can choose between the invasive traditional methods, or the minimally invasive stitch method.
Otoplasty is a general term for operations to improve poorly shaped ears. Prominent ears need to be set back onto the mastoid (skull behind the ear) and to have the anti helical fold made sharper (ridge tailing off to the top of the ear).

I am absolutely against this, I do never ever use permanent sutures in otoplasties, since the consequence is ALWAYS what you are clearly depicting.Find a surgeon who can remove them under local in an office based procedure.
I am a so-called "rhinoplasty surgeon", this means a subvariety of rare species who feels comfortable doing any kind of challenging or difficult noses, even those in need of cartilage harvesting from ear. As you can imagine I had the opportunity to harvest hundreds of ears in my career, and I...
