Can I Use Fillers To Treat A Flat Back of the Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a very flattened back of head about half way down the back. Is it possible to use just the filler type of material rather than implant?

A:No form of synthetic fillers or fat injections in the tight scalp work for skull augmentation. Unlike other face and body areas where the tissues are more supple the tight attachment of the scalp to The underlying skull precludes any effective displacement by the soft nature of any injectable material.
