When I was younger I had two separate occasions of head trauma. I’m guessing both caused a fracture of some sort because it left behind these two bumps. Cosmetically I hate them, although they are only visible underneath direct light. What are my options? Estimated cost of surgery? Would it take two surgeries to remove both or could they both be done with one surgery? Would it be permanent? How long for recovery? They are basically just bony feeling bumps that protrude, only noticeable under lit
