What Is The Recovery From A Skull Implant?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in a custom back of the head skull implant. How many days take to recover or how many days should i stay in USA. How many weeks time does it take to make the implant? It is Is my dream to realize that this type of surgery can be done.
A: The recovery from a skull implant is a lot quicker than most people think particularly on the back of thhe head. The postoperative swelling which is on the back and sides of the head will largely be gone in 7 to 10 days after the surgery. You should be able to return home in 2 to 3 days after the surgery. Getting the implant ready for surgery once we have received your 3D CT scan takes between 2 to 3 months.
