Background:  The shape of the skull is affected by numerous bony and muscle features which ultimately work together to create  an overall head shape. In a narrow head shape it is marked by a bony temporal line that is more narrow from the forehead to the back of the head. This can make the brow Read More…

Background:  The shape of the skull is influenced by a variety of structural elements within it as well as external forces. The internal elements are mainly the suture lines around which the skull bones form and are shaped. The sutures lines have a major influence particularly where they join other suture lines. These junctional areas Read More…

Background: Flatness of the back of the head is the most frequently seen aesthetic skull deficiency. Since the back of the head is laid on or against since early in development during the formative time of skull development, this is not a a surprise. There are many manifestations of flat areas on the back of Read More…

Background: The shape of the head is affected by a variety of factors during its development. One of items major factors is skull sutures which serve as a region of bine growth stimulus as the growing brain pushes the growing plate of bone outward. Because of their major influence on skull growth their premature partial Read More…

Background: Aesthetic skull reshaping involves a variety of procedures which fundamentally are contour changes of either reductions, augmentations or a combination of both. Reduction of an excessive bony prominence constitutes skull reductions which can be relatively small or may involve multiple bone surfaces. Regardless of the size or location of the bony prominence reduction is Read More…

Background: The shape of the head largely consists of a variety of convex curves regardless of the angle in which it is viewed. It has an oblong spherical shape in which each edge transition, as viewed from various angles, has differently shaped curves to it. Differently shaped heads will cause disruptions of these convex curves Read More…

Background: There are a wide variety of aesthetic head/skull shape deformities. One of the most common one that I see is the peaked head shape. From the front view the midline of the top of the head is the highest point with varying degrees of drop off from the midline of the skull down past Read More…

Background: The general shape of the skull is that of a convex sphere with various arcs to these convexities at different areas. It is also largely a smooth surface so elevated and depressed areas can be easily felt and in many cases seen. Indentations of the skull’s surface can occur at a variety of areas, Read More…
