Can My Forehead Indentations Be Treated By An Injectable Cranioplasty Method?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, I’m interested in Injectable cranioplasty. I was diagnosed with Gorham disease, causing two dents/indentations on my forehead.

A:Injectable cranioplasty as a skull contouring technique was abandoned years ago due to the high incidence of irregularities and edge contour issues which then required an open approach to solve. It was  replaced by custom skull implant designs which offer more reliable contouring results and equally small placement incisions. How any of this applies to you requires a picture assessment of your forehead indentation contour issues.
