I have cranial irregularities due to Craniosynostosis. My head specifically in the frontal region starting at the temples, is extremely narrow. There are many inconsistencies in my foreheads shape as well. Furthermore, they removed a piece of the back of my skull during surgery which has negatively affected the appearance and symmetry. Thus, my head is not in proportion to my body. I have already tried the mesh and screws, would hydroxyapatite give better cosmetic results?
