Can I Get Increased Volume On The Back and Top Of My Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I wanna know if is possible add volume in my occipital and top of my head cause both areas are flat, and how much would cost.

A:The question is not whether you can have skull implant augmentation to add volume to the back and top of your head but rather how much of a change do you seek and how much effort are you willing to put into it. Skull and taste and Zara ultimately limited by this stretch of the scalp tissue. Modest changes can occur with the immediate placement of a custom scholar implant. However significant changes require a first stage scalp expansion or a two stage skull augmentation procedure. As a female what you are requesting it is very common in my experience and in most patients the story will play out as follows… An immediate placement of an implant will provide improvement but generally about 50% of what the patient ideally wants where as a two-stage augmentation approach provides the most that the patient can hope to accomplish. Whereas the easiest route will be helpful but will leave one wanting. The harder route requires more effort and expense but achieves the most hat is humanly possible in any patient.
