Asked By:oddears in Waxhaw, NC

I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type1. OI is a bone disease, but there are issues with collagen deficiency, and I wasn't sure whether that could have some effect. My right ear is the primary problem. Much further out than my left ear and, due to the flat tops of my ear (hard to see in photo), it is only continuing to extend further from my head. Is this a deformity?My right jaw line is less defined, and my hair curves to the left. In photos, this makes the ear even more pertinent and noticeable. It annoys me and I want it fixed. How?
