vertex on skull is sunken

by schatzie229, Jan 27, 2008 02:50PM
I am an adult with a depression of the vertex area of my skull.  Can an implant be put under the skin to raise that area so that my skull looks normal?

The simple answer to this questions is yes.  The type of implant ranging from silicone to mesh with methylmethacrylate could be determined only with direct examination at the time of a consultation with either a plastic surgeon or a neurosurgeon.
