F.Re: Back w/question and Pictures

[Guest guest]

Hi . Thanks for looking. The 2nd opinion was not an in-person

visit. I simply sent pictures to him via email and then had the CT

scans sent to his office, so I have been getting our consultation via

email. I have asked the nurse to ask the dr. about re-banding her.

I am waiting on his response. Yes, she did have tort but it's almost

100% resolved but I still see the pulled back affect on her. Will

that continue even though she won't have the tort anymore? I thought

it would go away. Part of me thinks she is correcting(especially in

the cheek and temple area) without the band and then part of me

wonders how much more she will have in the band. Make sense? She

still has a little bulge on the back left side of her head, but not

that bad. My main concern is her face....do you think it looks bad?

do you think she will grow up and feel like she looks funny? I have

read that alot of the facial assymetry takes time and will correct as

they grow. How do you know if a band will help her anymore with her

face........just questions....feel free to give me your honest

opinions. Thanks alot!!!
