boxgrater Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 @Ashly117 First of all, thanks for thread. There isn't a lot of information available on this topic. I too am looking for cranioplasty, but in my case not so much augmentation as burring. My head has bumps protruding in the back that I would like to have shaved down. I know many clinics offer facial contouring by shaving the jaw but I have not seen much advertising of procedures offering the same thing for the skull. By chance did you come across any relevant information through your research? Thanks in advance.
marioka Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Hey! Thank you for the picture, it is highly appreciated. Could you also post any before picture to compare?
sukhmaninder-singh Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I don't think so that you should go for it till his head gets fully grown, as the bone comment will not grow with his age.
doori Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 That's what I was thinking as well. Or that my son would need to go again when he is fully grown gor a touch up.
sukhmaninder-singh Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Yes, you should wait till he's all grown up and yes btw did you get any replies from Jogak ? I've sent a mail myself and haven't till now.
doori Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I haven't gotten a reply yet. I've only sent one email. Someone said to email him daily, but I really don't want to bother him as I would think he's really busy. I may send another email soon though. I would like to hear what he thinks for bone cement for a toddler...
thelilachour Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Thanks for starting this thread. I also consulted with Dr Eppley on forehead contour but was put off by his reviews...I also suspected that none of the American Drs I could find online had as much experience with bone contouring
mlydzz Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 I actually emailed him with pictures and they replied in like 2 days so..pretty quick for me
sukhmaninder-singh Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 I've emailed him twice with pics and no reply . Hey how severe is your case? Mine is this bad and it goes all the way down to the sides.
watermelon09 Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 @Ashly117 wow, you look great! Feel happy that you feel satisfied with the result!
mlydzz Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Nooo actually my case is so much more severe unfortunately :/ you dont even seem to need much bone cement to correct that, mine is worse but i dont want to provide pics because it's embarrasing. Maybe once I get it done I will. He just quoted me 6-7k USD lol
sukhmaninder-singh Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Oooh, but what did he say about your case? To what extent is the augmentation possible? Any limitations in your case?
doori Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Just a general question for anyone here. My son is 2 and has plagio, the right side of the back of his head is flat and the left side pushes out a bit...the specialist stated there wasn't anything else to be done and it would improve a bit as he ages. Is that true? Anyone else here notice a natural improvement from childhood or teens to adulthood? Thanks
sukhmaninder-singh Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Well earlier as I had alot of hair I never noticed my plagiocephaly, it's now that I've started shaving that it's evident, as per your son I would say let it be till the time he grows up. Once his skull is fully formed he can get bone cement put or maybe something even better by then. Just don't go for any skull surgeries which might have some serious side effects.
mlydzz Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I did ask about the limitations and if mine was fixable and they said this: "There is no restriction for the occiput augmentation surgery. Especially you are a good indication for this operation because correctable area of your occiput is planar and flat. The volume of the bone cement inserted on the occiput is about 50mL, the average thickness is about 1~2cm, depending on the scalp extensibility of patients."
