Will A Large Skull Implant Have A Facelift Like Effect?

Q: Dr. Eppley, ! I’m 59 years old and considering getting a face/neck lift, but don’t really like the idea of hairline scars. My question is, if I got a 3D printer skull implant to correct my flat head and tissue expanders weren’t used would that also give me a neck and face lift? I’m also considering getting cheek implants where my face was crushed at birth with forceps

A: No size of skull implant is ever going to create the effect of a facelift. In very large skull some patients may experience a browlift but its lifting effects will not extend down into the lower face and neck.
