How Can I Fix Low Set Backward Tilted Ears?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m wondering what I should do of my ears position and rotation, is it possible to rotate them to be more straight, or would a reduction help at all? I don’t know if they are lowset or just big and tilted. What can fix this

A: They may be a bit low set and with a backward tilt, neither of which can be changed. I would no advise ear reduction either as with a large concha that would look odd with the usual high-low ear reduction technique. The only ear reduction technique that could be done is a mid-conchal excision method but that may make more of backward tilt effect.
