Can The Distance Between The Two Ears Be Reduced?

Q: Dr. Eppley.  I feel like my entire skull is too wide, I know the area above the ear can be narrowed but I was wondering if skull reshaping can be done in such a way that the distance between the 2 ears are reduced.

A: While head narrowing surgery typically refers to decreasing the width of the head above the ears I believe you are referring to the ear themselves which is defined by the location of the eternal auditory canals. Such a reduction is not possible.
