Can Temporal Reduction With A Skull Implant Avoid The Need For Scalp Expansion?
Q: Dr. Eppley, does the combination of temporalis muscle reduction and forehead implant reduce the possible need for an scalp expander (compared to only doing a forehead implant)? Thanks in advance.
A: If scalp expansion is really needed temporal reduction will not create enough scalp looseness to avoid it.
I have never seen a situation where a forehead implant ever needed scalp expansion.
