How Is Plagiocephaly In Adults Treated?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Can plagiocephaly skull should be treated?

A:Such occipital asymmetries as you have are commonly treated with a custom made skull implant to build out the flattened side. So if the question is whether it can be treated that is an absolute yes. If the question is whether it should be treated, as stated in your inquiry, that is a matter of personal preference based on how much it bothers the patient.
