im not skullsize anon but i need his medical faggot ass up in this bitch to tell me this
i have scheduled a type 3 forehead reconstruction where alot of bone cement will be added, i read that the skull NEVER stops growing, so could someone tell me if anyone who has had ffs at a young age will have issues later on in life if they get ffs done so young? (i'll be 19 when then)

i meant to write "i'll be19 when i get it done"

>i read that the skull NEVER stops growing
the skull stops growing when the growth plates in your bones close, anon
you will not turn into a macrocephalic mutant with a fucked up forehead by middle age if you get ffs at 19

also when do the growth plates close? should i get a check from my GP or smth? :S

the skeleton, skull incuded, continues changing throughout life
however, this is not 'skull growth' in the sense that your head will be observably larger in day-to-day life in twenty years
growth plates usually fuse somewhere around 18 in people who underwent male puberty and 16 in those who underwent female, with a couple years variance on each end

so if it continues changing, what will happen to my forehead when its been cut, has titanium screws in and bone cement ontop of that.. or can you tell me HOW it changes or are the areas affected by ffs not important to the change?
sry if im annoying i just had a teacher telling me that i shouldnt do it cuz "the skull never stops growing" and the google answers arent that reaffirming either :(

you need to talk to your doctor/surgeon about this

people who have gotten cosmetic or reconstructive surgeries that change bone structure in similar ways to ffs don't seem to get disfigured as they grow old, though people who get plastic surgery in general age a bit weirdly (probably has more to do with 'people who get plastic surgery want to hijack the aging process' than anything)

my surgeon is caitlyn jenners surgeon, dr. harrison lee, i did talk to him, he said i shouldnt worry, aslong as i dont go crazy on fillers such as hyaluronic acid or botox i wont look disfigured at all. but hes also a salesman as a surgeon, so i thought i should ask somewhere, did in school and teacher was like "bad idea"
