Can I Get The Dent In The Upper Back Of My Head Fixed?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi, I’m looking to get an occipital reshaping. I saw a great case study done by Dr Eppley mthat looks similar to what I’d like to have done.

A:Thank you for sending your pictures. This appears to be a classic posterior fontanelle skull deformity where the original baby soft spot closed but did not develop the thickness of the surrounding skull bone. Hence the depression or indentation which id ideally treated by a custom skull implant design.
