Can The Bump On The Top Of My Forehead/Skull Be Fixed?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  Can my head shape be fixed? How long does it take for the healing process on the skull to come to fruition after procedure?

A:This appears to be an overgrown frontal bone with a protrusion in front of the coronal skull suture line. This is treated by a frontal bone burring reduction technique. Whether that can be successfully done, AKA enough bone removed to create a smooth contour, requires a preoperative 3-D skull scan with bone thickness measurements.

It generally takes 2 to 3 weeks for most of the swelling from any skull reduction procedure to allow the benefits of the surgery to be seen.to allow the benefits of the surgery to be seen.
