Procedure

Skull Reshaping - MMA

We can create more volume and better contour in the back or the front of the head. Some people were born with flat areas in the back of the head, the forehead, or the top of the head. This can look especially obvious with short haircuts or ponytails. 

 

Dr. Yao does a highly specialized procedure that safely adds volume and re-contours the head with a minimal incision technique. It was pioneered in South Korea, and done by very few clinics in the U.S. Patients travel from all across the U.S. to have this operations done by Dr. Yao.

 

Traditional options for skull reshaping is very invasive. It requires making a large incision across the entire head in order to fit a large customized plastic, mesh, or metal implant. CT scans are needed to design the implants. This process is time consuming, expensive, and leaves large scars. Dr. Yao’s technique with MMA (bone cement) is personalized for every patient’s unique head shape without the problems associated with traditional methods.

  • Improved roundness and contour of the head for those with flat spots
  • Improved profile view of the head
  • More balanced forehead or back of head

Pain is minimal. The head is completely wrapped for several days to prevent swelling and protect the head. You may sleep in a normal position, as the new head shape is immediately permanent. The head may be a little sore for a few days, but patients can return to work quickly.

No. The incision is very small and completely hidden inside the hair.
