So in case anybody is interested: I just talked to Dr Hsu and Emily from LPS on zoom. They were very nice and friendly and my case should be "easy" to handle.
The only thing which is bad is that you are not able to see any before / after (only at their clinic) and the price... Emily told me it would be 9.500 USD for me. Thats a lot more than I expected escpecially as they agreed that it is not a complicated surgery in my case.
I have to think about this a lot...

Hi everybody,

Thank you all for posting your experiences with plagio, both mentally and about the surgery wise

Im 25 yo and Ive been suffering with plagio since my teenage years,

It is an exhastive situation where only people who have crooked heads can understand,

Im very glad to have find a community that shares this problem, cause everywhere I look, I cant find a single person who also have plagio, and never met anyone with a more severe case than mine,

Difficult to have a good relationship with my parents also, despite all the gratitude that I have for giving me a good education, food, shelter. I just look at my own face and just feel bad.

Im japanese descent and my parents use to give me a bucket haircut as a baby and child. Ive grown up and it is really frustrating to have to keep my hair long to not feel like trash

I really wish all the best for you,

You are heros just for dealing with it,

In my case, the plagio is more like a brachycephaly, which made my head larger, with bumps over my ears, and it really annoys me. But also, my right side is a bit more flatted, which make my whole face assymmetrical.

But, since nothing can be done about that, I am really thinking about doing a forehead augmentation, and maybe a top of head augmentation also. Guess, maybe it helps harmonizing my whole face and head

The back of my head is a bit flat too, but I have priorities haha, and if I fill the back also, maybe my head would become tremendously big with all the fillers

As I can see in this thread, I guess the best option for me is going with Dr Song from Jogak clinic. He seems to be the most experienced and very careful with his patients,

Also, the price plays a huge factor, since Im brazillian and the currency here just sucks.

The travel ticket for Korea is double the price than the US. But it is still a lot cheaper than going to LINE clinic, since the procedure is about $2000 more expensive, as I can see in the comments.

I intend to go by July, hope it goes well.

Here are some pics:

I think if you fill the top of your head maybe it would be better to also fill the back of your head too? Not sure if that area would still be considered the same procedure as the back of your head, so if you can get the most of your money would be better to do it

Can i know how long it took for Line PS to contact you back after you filled out the form in order to be able to have a video consultation? I sent mine back the same day, been 2 weeks and still no response even after I called. Makes me think they don't want me to go because I'm not in the states........

Hmmm they got back to me quite quickly. They sent a couple of slots for video consultations and I picked one that worked for me.

Did you already contact Dr Song and send him the pictures? I think in your case he should be better (and cheaper) than LPS.
He also should know what can be done and what should not. Hard to say if you really should increase the top of your head e.g. maybe it could look "to big" overall then as you already said. As far as I know removing is more difficult than in increasing, but possible in some situations - just ask him what he would suggest and can do about top, sides and back. In my opinion your sides are not that bad. Mine are a bit thick too. Maybe you can increase the length of your back a bit and find a solution for the top. If he can reduce your sides as well and it wont get too expensive in total - you can go for it too :)
You have full hair: at least you can play with your haircut and make it suit your headshape the best way possible. I'm balded, so nothing to hide ;D

I go back and forth on this. I would like to have it fixed so I can just be “normal” and be able to live anywhere without constantly worry about finding a barber that can give me a good haircut. I can also swim and do other things without being so self conscious. On the other hand, I am not 100% sure if I really need to do it. I do wonder about long term effects, if any. It’s something I always wished was fixable and now that there is a solution, I fluctuate back and forth. Sigh

Do anyone of you know Dr. Adrian Hsieh from Charm United Institute in Taiwan ? It looks like he entered the game of skull reshaping haha. He advocates the use of custom implants rather than PMMA manual molding. He also performs it under general anesthesia.
