How Can I Fix My Unevenly Shaped Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, My head is not evenly shaped and I want to explore options for contouring.

A:Thank you for sending your pictures as this is the first I’ve seen them. What day demonstrate to me or two issues. First there is hey left sided top of the head asymmetry where the parasagittal area is lower and the bony temporal line is more per truce then the other side this is undoubtably the most major issue due to the asymmetry scene. Secondly, on the back of your head there is an exit little knob with a small scalp roll which may or may not be of any concern to you.

In looking at the primary school shape issue hey successful outcome would be based on augmenting the left depressed parasagittal area as well as reducing widen bony temporal line. The first is very straightforward to do with the custom skull implant which is done through a very small scout implant which would leave virtually no significant scar.. The widened temporal bony line, however, is more challenging from an incisional standpoint as to adequately reduce the widened bone this needs to be burred down along its length from the forehead all the way to the back of the head. While this can be done my aesthetic concern would be the necessary incisional length to do so.

Considering both procedures the attached image is what I think your  skull reshaping goal would be.
