Real Help For Babies with Flat Heads!

My Child is ≥ 24 months of age After 24 months, orthotic Cranioplasty will not be effective in treating the deformity.  In severe cases referred too late to benefit from orthotic cranioplasty, or in whom the devices have failed to improve the child's condition, surgery may be warranted.  If surgery is considered, several types of surgical procedures have been shown to be effective. If indicated, surgical options should be discussed with a pediatric neurosurgeon or craniofacial surgeon to determine the appropriate timing and type of procedure.
