Why is it not considered long term? I thought it was permanent.

Bone cement is permanent if we speak about the technique Dr. Song uses e.g.
I think there is also something like bone cement fillers that get used for some surgeries, but in the case of skull augmentation these "fillers" would make no sense. So, it is (or should be) longterm/permanent without any doubt

Hey guys, this is my before and after pictures.
It doesn't look that bad in the photos but in real life it is.

Hello, could you send photos of the head from both sides, from the side, what it looks like after the surgery? because I'm also planning to have surgery in the future, but I see that you don't like the results, do you think it's better than before, or is there no significant difference? I also have plagiocephaly and I have known about it for about 10 years, but for the last 3 months the knowledge that I have plagiocephaly literally makes me sad and depressed, because when I see in the photos/recordings how crooked my head is, I feel sad about it (I cut it off). (very briefly) I once asked two friends if you could see that I had a crooked head, they replied that you couldn't see anything, but now I think they wanted to cheer me up, because I'm pretty sure that what's in the photos is like that in real life, personally for 24 years In my life I have heard maybe 10 times that I have a crooked head, no one has ever teased me because of it, I have not had any problems with my peers because of it, but I cannot mentally come to terms with the fact that I have plagiocephaly and I am very angry at my mother for she couldn't supervise me and position me properly as a baby (when I was 16, I asked her why my head was crooked, to which she replied that she put me on the other side, but I still changed the position to the side where my head was flat, but she didn't make that excuse). I can forgive her anyway) it's a bit sad to have this defect, because I look obsessively at people with heads and there are very few people who have plagiocephaly, I have personal friends with the same problem as me and to be honest, maybe 3 of them have 10 it is immediately visible, in the case of the rest it is when you look closely and this fact depresses me that from my observations 99% of the people I see have normal heads, and I must have a deformed skull and here people on the forum, I am connecting with you in pain.

Fleong was talking about the before. Read the messages he posted after the surgery, he said it's not 100% perfect but he was satisfied with the result.

Read the messages he posted after the surgery, he said it's not 100% perfect but he I know that it won't be a perfect shape, but I mean if both sides of the profile are very similar or still have a lot of characteristics, the point is that I want to see what it looks like from different angles in photos, I have plagio and I haven't seen it with a craniometer, but what I can read on the Internet is that I read it on my devices for an asymmetry of 1.2 cm, it seems to be indefinite a lot, I struggle with the idea that there is always one earphone, I cut it very short (sides at zero, top hair 1cm to 3cm) now each of them has had less self-confidence for 3 months, where for a very long time you have had the influence that I have plagio, so I always think that everything that is a matter of names and being about yourself does not apply to these 3 months to usually have a short haircut, which passed and nothing happened, I usually functioned and I rarely heard anything about my head (10 times to myself), gradually to myself, and I start to not care and I didn't fall off plagio, to be myself and that's who I am, maybe one day will manage to occur, but it turned out that the truth is that you do not change this practical situation, unless you correct it with bone cement or even an implant, where more of the solution has already gone. I guess my plagio is already quite visible and strong, but luckily for me, which is not possible when I was almost bitten by a dog and I have 2 scars each 1.5 or 2 inches apart so that people will think I have a curve appearance after occurrence not because I have it 😂 not a little bit solved, but I came up with the idea that this photo is possible, that the effects can be accurate, one of them is the effects that give the other one a solution

Hi guys,

I am so happy that I found this forum. I have been searching for the surgery for last coupleofyears. For me travelling to South Korea or north America would be too complicated and that is why I am searching for clinics doing this surgery in Europe. Does anyone know anything about thi? I assume also in Turkey someone does this surgery, yet I couldn't find anyone. Has anyone heard something about it? I would appreciate your response if you like to share.

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:

Hi everyone interested in skull augmentation surgery,

Well, I had it done three years ago. It was fine initially, apart from some discomfort when resting my head on hard surfaces. It later developed into waking up with a headache at the back of my head, then with an extreme headache that lasted all day and required multiple painkillers to subside. CT scan showed nothing. I am getting it removed soon because I cannot live my life. Lesson learnt: try to learn to love your body, and do not spend a penny on something that can jeopardise your health. In the end, nobody will take any responsibility for anything and you pay the full price. I wish I had never done that.

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your experience. That is actually one of my fears. Do you mind providing more information on what type of material they surgeon used and which clinic?

Hello everyone, I am a person with plagiocephaly, I have written here before in frustration, I will tell you this, I will collect money for a back head implant because from what I see it gives an effect that I would be happy with, generally speaking from what I write on the Internet it is plagiocephaly below 1 cm measurement along the diagonals are classified as aesthetic and are apparently very inconspicuous, I myself have asymmetries of about 9-10 mm, so according to statistics it is hardly visible (I measured with my hand on the diagonal fingers, but every measurement on the finger showed this from 8mm to 12mm because I could have measured wrongly, because I don't have craniometers with my hand) and on the Internet I even found illustrations with cvai 10.2mm, it's a very similar head shape to mine and I wonder if I'm allergic to my head and I see this asymmetry so much and others don't see it as much as I do, I don't know that, but I know one thing for sure, that someday in the future I will definitely come to London to have an implant placed on the back of my head. I wonder if it makes sense since, according to the Cvai index, my asymmetry is not yet as tragic as it might seem, in fact it is on the border between light and moderate. My question to you is whether you would see the point in doing this surgery? since according to the cvai index my asymmetry is not severe. I will add that I always cut my sides very short, 0 or 1 cm, the funniest paradox is that I am supposedly very handsome (I hear this from women quite often, and even when I'm out and about, I've often had women just hit on me), but I'm aware plagiocephaly takes away my self-confidence and I wonder if for women the fact that someone has an asymmetrical head is of any greater importance 😅
