Why doesn't the human skull get smaller after loosing alot of weight ? my friend weigthed about 300lbs, now he weight 160lbs and has a big head :(
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone mass is: fixed after maturation at it's adult size and is not affected during weight loss. Your friend's head only appears larger in relation to his/her girth which is now apparently one half what you were used to seeing. In a short time you will see that it appears normal. He or she should be congtatulated,
