Can A Young infant Get A Skull Implant for Plagiocephaly?

Q: Dr. Eppley, My 23 month son has untreated moderate plagiocephaly. I saw you had done an implant for a child in the photos. I am wondering the process, age and if the procedure needs to be redone as a young adult?

A: Skull implants for plagiocephaly are only done on patients 16 years and older.
