Good morning, I would like to know how you would perform your surgery on my case (shown in the picture). I've already had an otoplasty 10 years ago however I see that my ears are still big in relation with the whole face and I'd like to have them smaller and a little bit more sticked out towards the head (even if I think that ears would be less visible on my face if smaller). What could I do? Many thanks

It is very common for patients to have only one ear reshaped. I do it regularly. Your ear can be modified to reduce its pointiness and decrease the amount it projects.
Nearly incisionless Otoplasty is possible but may not be practical
Incision-less Otoplasty vs Conventional Methods:
My best advice is to pick the surgeon and not the technique. Few surgeons use the incision-less technique as it is a "blind" technique though this may be effective in the right...
The actual size of the ears can be reduced. Their prominence may also be reduced. However, it is important to determine what exactly the issue is, since “large” can refer to the length/width of the ears and/or how much they protrude from the head.
