Does A Sagittal Crest Need To Be Reduced?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a 3mm bump on my saggital crest. I am 20, only just realized. Should I be worried. Many people have skull deformities. Will this have any affects on me it later life? Is this surgery essential or cosmetic. Lots of misinformation. Because looking at skulls this looks normal.

A: It is a cosmetic issue only.
