If I Need 3 Skull Implants Will I First Need Scalp Expansion?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is the scalp expansion only something that’s needed in the event that all 3 areas are done during a single surgery? If you were to do 2 doing one and the third at a later date … or one at a time, would you need the scalp expansion? Thanks again!

A: Scalp expansion is usually needed when the volume of the implants exceeds 150ccs. Sequentially putting in skull implants does not help that that problem as each implant ‘steals’ scalp for its augmentation effect.
