Can I Do Sagittal Crest and Back of the Skull Reductions At The Same Time?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi, I have a pronounced sagittal crest which then transitions into a flat angled shape at the back of my skull. I was hoping to understand whether a mix of surgery and implants could correct the shape without making the skull overly-large looking? Happy to schedule a consultation if you believe this is something you could help with. Many thanks,

A: The combination of a sagittal crest reduction and augmentation to the upper back of the head is certainly a very straightforward procedure to do if that would be the appropriate resolution to a better head shape for you. In that regard I would need to see some pictures of your head to confirm that that would be the appropriate approach.
