Do Skull Implants Cause Hair Loss?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in getting a custom skull implant and I have long hair. Would the surgery cause hair loss in anyway since a silicone will be inserted in between the skull and scalp?
A: Skull implants are placed on the bone beneath the overlying five layers of the scalp. As a result it does not cause hair loss as the hair follicles reside between the 1st and 2nd scalp layers…the implant resides beneath the fifth layer of the scalp.
