Re: Has any one used Cranial Osteopath? We need options other than helmets(bands)

September 9, 2008

Hello Jen,

We have our son with the same problem. He is almost 3 yrs. old. We are going

to see a plastic surgeon next. Wed. to see what our options are. I will post

what he has to say once we see him.

My hunch is nothing can be done at this late point in their lives. We certainly

won't subject him to invasive surgery & I don't think a surgeon would do that

either for just cosmetic reasons. But I will feel better knowing I have all the

answers.
