Will Skull Reduction Make Much Of A Difference In A Really Big Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is it possible for a head to be too big for reshaping?

A:I think the question you are really asking is whether a skull reduction at certain head sizes would not be particularly effective. (aka nit make much of a difference) Abd that answer would be yes that is possible. Which is why I always try to image what the changes would be using the patient’s pictures before surgery to help them make the decision about the merits of the surgery.
