Is It Possible to Put a Fold in my Ears? (photo)

August 5, 2013
Asked By:In San Francisco in San Francisco, CA

My ears do protrude out a bit, but that is not what really bothers me. What really bothers me is the flat top of my ears or lack of fold. I would love to have this corrected!!! Is it possible to correct this lack of fold, and, if so, what would the surgery entail? Thank you for any and all responses!!!
