Can forehead implants and cranioplasty be done in the same procedure?

Question

I have asymmetry in my forehead and in my skull shape (head shape) due to birth trauma. I was wondering if I can get implants to fix the two asymmetries in the same procedure, or whether the procedures have to be separated.

It is hard to tell without seeing any photos, but both procedures should be able to be done at the same time. Its better to have only one recovery as well. Depending on the deformities and where they are located, they may be fixed with just the cranioplasty. Again, it is hard to give you better information without having any imaging to work off of. Our office provides virtual or in-person consultations if you would like to discuss things further. Once we have pictures, we can give you better options and more information!

I do a lot of skull shaping for various reasons.  You may need implants, reduction, shaping, grafts. It's hard to tell without a photo. Watch our videos to learn more or consider a video consultation.
