Can My Metopic Ridge Be Reduced?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I would like to discuss whether i can reduce my metopic ridge to achieve a smooth and normal forehead appearance.

A:The success of any form of skull reduction, including a metopic ridge, is whether the bone is thick enough to allow for an adequate and safe bony reduction. That is determined precisely by a 3D CT skull scan with color mapping of its thicknesses.
