Lopsided head

Before I was born my mother was in an accident, the details of which have always been sketchy.  Going forward I gather that sleeping on oneside of my head for extended amounts of time also added in my head being lopsided.  Now that I am approaching 30 I am at a point where I would like to have something done to correct this or just cosmetically make my head look symmetrical.  Is there a procedure for this or am I just going to have to grin and bear this for the rest of my life?  Along with the lopsided head of course my facial features are somewhat lopsided as well, but I can deal with that, it's not grotesque.

Any information that you can provide would greatly be appreciated.  I am a film maker as well, so I think it would be great to document this procedure if there something available, I am sure that I am not alone in quiet sufferings.

Regards,
Josh

Repair of cranial shape defects requires the expertise of a craniofacial and/or neurosurgeon.  A consultation followed by CT or MRI studies will determine if you are a candidate for any procedure.
