Are There Any Alternatives to Ear Surgery, or Will There Be Any?

samme
i know that for now there arent so much ways to pin ears back other than otoplasty.. but may i ask, in the near future, if there are any possibilities of devices being developed for those who dont want surgeries? any devices which can make flat cartileage folded permanently since there are already so much ways of doing surgeries(excising, stitching, etc) i desperately hope there will be a breakthrough that we can easily hold them by devices, not cutting our skins or stitching through our ears.
