Is My Head Asymmetric?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello! hen I was born my mother said that my head was not fully formed and that she used to put pillows around my head. I didn’t put much attention to it then since I was a boy and didn’t pay attention to my looks. When I see my head today from different angels it looks different (according to me) on the each side. I wonder what the cause to that could be since my head a couple years ago looked normal from all sides. I will drop some pictures below. A pic for left and a pic for right side, and finally a pic of me when I was younger. Is it all in my head or is there actually a change in my head and if so what is the cause/what can be done to fix it?
A: It is difficult in pictures to say what differences exist in head shape between the two sides and I certainly can not say what exists today is different from years ago. The definitive answer about any head shape concerns can be definitely answered by a 3D CT skull scan which will remove all speculation about what its shape is.
