Is PMMA Bone Cement A Good Skull Augmentation Material For A Flat Back Of The Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi there, I previously messaged asking about the filling treatment for flattened back of head issue. The reply was that fillers don’t work but I was referring to the method you are using with the PMMA/bone cement. Can you let me know the approximate cost of this? There are only a couple of places that do this and I live much closer to you so that would be best for me. 

A:Due to the inadequate results from the use of PMMA bone cements in skull augmentation they were abandoned almost 10 years ago and replaced with custom implant designs that offer far superior results.
