Can My Brow Bone Reduction Be Reversed With Hydroxyapatite Cement?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m hoping my brow bone can be fixed back to original 1st picture with CT scanned bone cement implant.
A: While hydroxyapatite bone cement would be the appropriate material to augment a previous brow bone reductionit can not be made as a custom implant as that technology does not yet exist for that material. Even if it did exist HA could not be manufactured as a thin implant as it is too brittle to do so.
Hydroxyapatite cement is applied as a putty when mixed, shaped and then allowed to set.
