Can a fat transfer be done to the head/skull for flat head?

July 21, 2017
Asked By:BrittE92 in Los Angeles, CA

My head is flat at the back and I would like it to be more projected. I understand there are skull implants, but I do not want an implant in my body. Can I just do a fat transfer to the back of the skull? I'm worried because there is not really fat in your head, I'm not sure how it would react to fat in that area. Would fillers such as PMMA be a better option? Any risks? Can I go to any board-certified surgeon?
