Is the Temporal Muscle Big Enough To Make A Difference in Head Width Reduction?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is the temporalis muscle large enough to cause a noticeable difference? Because when I touch my head, it feels as if I’m touching the bone.

A: Every patient says the same thing when they feel the side of their head. But the reality is that soft tissues will feel like the backing on which they are placed….like wallpaper on a wall. Most patients would say, for example, that their scalp is very thin because it feels fairly solid when most patient’s scalps are least ¾ inch and some up to 1 ½ inches thick.
