Hello! I'm also flat-headed one.. i use a curler to add some volume to the back of my head;C every day..
now, when i read about this surgery, i've got a hope not be scared of rain and wetness and to stop carrying my heavy curler everywhere i go


could you please write the prices of both clinics?

Hi just saw this message - I have to check the exact prices on what they quoted me but roughly Song cost $6k and ITEM was around 5k.
I went with Song based on Ashly feedback and it was good experience I would say...my case was bad so he did the best he could and I feel other clinic would have done the same level of job. attaching a pic which shows volume on back of my head which was flat area before the surgery.

Hello,
I have sent and email to Dr. Song but have not heard back...
Would you know the age requirement for this procedure?
My son's head (from the top) looks very similar to yours. I can't see the back of yours, but the back right side of my son's head is very flat. We got him a helmet at 6 months and it helped a little, but now at 2, thr doctor says it may not improve that much more.

2 years old may be too young, but if one day at 12 or 13, if he is self conscious or wants it fixed, can we do it?
Is his head still growing and getting bigger as an adolescent? Would the cement get skewed due to skull growth?

Thanks in advance

@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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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

Oooh, but what did he say about your case? To what extent is the augmentation possible? Any limitations in your case?

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
