You have two options.
1. You could meet a Prosthodontist, who could take a mould of your normal ear and create a mirror image prosthetic to replace the mictotic remnants. This is relatively inexpensive.
2. Come down to Bangalore and meet Dr Shreyas Pradeep at MENTS Hospital in Banashankari who specialises in microtia ear reconstruction. This however is very difficult, time consuming and super- expensive (about appropriately 15-20 lakhs altogether, afterall he is recreating a fully living ear out of your own rib cage cartilage!)
