Am I A Good Candidate For Augmentation of the Back of My Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi! Im reaching out wondering If based off these images if I’d be a candidate for skull reshaping, i have flat head syndrome and it is my biggest insecurity. I ideally want more projection in the back of my head, especially near the upper part as it kinda slopes inwards instead of outwards and limits my hairstyle choices and causes me to feel very insecure. Thank you very much!

A: Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures. You have a classic flat back of the head which is effectively addressed by a custom skull implant augmentation. Flat back of the heads are the #1 aesthetic skull augmentation area. The amount of projection obtained by such skull implants are based on the natural stretch of the scalp once it is released from the bone.
