How Can I Fix My Flat Lopsided Back of the Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi there. I was doing some research and I came across your website. I have a misshaped head, very flat on the back and a little lob sided. I would like to know if and what my options are in order to fix this. Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you guys 👍

A:Thank you for sending me your pictures. You have a common back of the head flatness which often has some asymmetry to it as well. Both back of the head issues are ultimately addressed by a custom skull plant-based on a 3-D CT scan of your skull. While there are limits as to how much the scalp can stretch to accommodate an implant I do not see that as a limiting factor in your case is illustrated in the attached imaging.
