Hello, I've had this issue for my whole life and it's something I've tried for decades to accept, but just can't seem to despite being 30 years old now. My ears are barely seen from the front, and it also makes my head look really narrow. Is there anything that can be done to build them out and also make my head wider in that area? It's had such an impact on me that I'm willing to accept any sort of risk and scarring. Thanks in advance.
Answer: Increasing projection Yes, it is possible to increase the projection of your ears so that they are a bit more visible from the front. A board certified plastic surgeon with experience in cosmetic ear surgery can help you.

Answer: Earlobe surgery to help fix appearance of the ears Our office repairs earlobes after a traumatic tear of earrings, gauge piercings, or after a facelift in which the earlobes are stretched. Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multi-layered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

Answer: How to make more prominent ears Based on these, less-than-perfect photos, I would conclude that you have normally set and developed ears. However, if you need them to be more prominent, a technique that is performed as a reversal of otoplasty, with a scar placed behind your ear, may be considered. Good luck.

Answer: Head shape Hello. I'm not sure about making the head look wider in that area (possibly fat grafting or filler) but to help the ears project more, you could try to get the "opposite" effect of an otoplasty by, perhaps, building up the conchomastoid sulcus so that something is pushing your ear forward. That could possibly be achieved with fat or filler as well.
