How Can My Peaked Head Shape Be Improved?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I was wondering what could be done for my pointed head shape? Could the area circled in red in one of the pictures be burred down to reduce the peaked look?

A: While sagittal ridge skull  reduction can be done in your case its impact on improving the peaked head shape would be very modest. The more profound change would come from parasagittal augmentation to raise up the sloped sides of the head along the sagittal ridge line. It may or may not be combined with sagittal ridge reduction based on what computer imaging shows us about its effect along with parasagittal augmentation.
