Could i fix a deformed head in teen years?

Difficult surgery: Once the sutures/plates in the skull are mostly fused, surgical correction of a head deformity is challenging and risky. Unless the shape of the skull is creating a true medical problem, surgery of this type would likely not be recommended.
