Can otoplasty pin my ears to a more normal position?

Question:

My ears have always stuck straight out from my head. Can otoplasty pin them back so they are at a more normal position?

Answer:

Otoplasty is designed for the purpose of creating a naturally appearing ear. The most common reason for otoplasty surgery is to “pin back” an otherwise protruding ear into a normal nondescript position. Sculpting the ear into a more anatomically correct ear can also be done at the same time.
