Can I get rid of this kind of pointy ears? (Photo)

June 12, 2016
Asked By:vevericka in Prešovský kraj, Slovensko

I wasn't born with this kind of pointy ears. When I was a baby, I used to sleep on them and that's why I have this kind of ears now. I can never wear a pony tail, I just want to know if it is able to fix. Thank you.
