How Can I Address The Flat Spot On The Back Of My Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have been planning and budgeting for an aesthetic surgical procedure to address a flat spot on the occipital region (back of the head) for some time and am now ready to proceed.I am based in Canada and prefer to have the procedure here. However, I am also considering clinics in the United States if necessary.I would appreciate any information or recommendations regarding this type of surgery.

A:The definitive procedure for any type of skull augmentation is a custom implant made from the patient’s 3D CT scan. Whether anyone does this procedure in Canada I would not know.
