Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
No, it is not possible to reshape the skull in adulthood as all skull joints are fixed joints except the jaw joint. Fracture, trauma or undue pressure can change the shape, but this will damage the brain too. Take care!

My wife had a craneotomy and had the bone put back in but it is sunken in quite a lot.  Is there anything that can be done?
