Skull: Most of sutures (spaces b/t skull bones) are fused or closed by 18 yrs. old. 1 set of sutures may still be open until 21 - 25 years of age - depending on stage of puberty - in young adult men more than women. CT scan of brain and skull bones before appt. w/neurosurgeon and plastic surgeon to "smooth out" area of plagiocephaly. May be billed as only cosmetic procedure.

Cranial reshaping: This is a complex procedure that is done in a few locations around the world on adults. It involves opening the scalp, pealing it back, cutting and reshaping the skull bones.It is an intensive process and requires significant time and recovery. The International Craniofacial Center at Medical City Dallas may be able to help, or locate a similar center closer to home.
