Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Welcome to the group!! My son also had very bad facial asymmetry, but it seemed like one day we could spot it, the next it wasn't so bad, so our eyes played tricks on us- but the mirror was our tell all too- smaller eye, droopy cheek, slight bossing of forehead, ear misalignment- severe. My son was in a DOC band at approx. 5 months and graduated at approx. 8 months, his facial asymmetry and ear misalignement did not correct until the last month of his treatment. It seemed here one day, gone the next! His ears are fully aligned, and I still check him out in the mirror and can't believe all those features are symmetrical now. I also incorporated massage around the eye, jaw, cheek area, because with tort that tight muscle also can pull down facial features (as well as pull up that upper torso, like a magnet, it pulls things towards it)- so I would gently massage upwards in circles in those areas to try to ease tension in the face- not sure if this also helped resolve the asymmetry because I know others have had the same results without massage, but it sure didn't hurt! Good luck and keep the faith, soon you'll be checking out your little guy in the mirror and say, "wow!" Keep us posted! ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hello! is at a great age for correction! My son had significant facial and ear asymmetries. He wore his band from 5-8 months.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 My son Max got his Doc band on at 5 months and we are now told he has grown out of it. He just turned 8 months today and we get it off in a week. They keep asking us if we are going to do another helmet. His facial asymetry looks great but the back of his head still looks flat. We haven't decided whether or not we'll do a second helmet yet. Good luck with your son's treatment. Joe Hermosa Beach, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 HI & welcome to our group! Assymetries are definitely correctible, but often take the longest time to correct. He's only been in it 6 wks, and you have noticed improvement of his head, so things are improving and working properly! He's got several mos wearing the band left, so I'm sure the assymetries will improve over time! Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > Hi - I'm new to this group.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hello and welcome! I see you have already received a bunch of responses. Banding does correct facial assymetry and ear misalignment. This is often the last thing to correct so don't be discouraged. It sounds like your son has already received good correction and that is encouraging. Five months is great age to begin just as your doctor told you so hang in there. We have many, many babies in STARbands in this group who have received great correction - I'm sure it will happen for too. Keep us posted and I'm glad you have joined us.

When I got bumps on the tops of my hands near my wrists, I thought these were nodules, too. But the rheumy said they were my bones. I guess they have eroded or something.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hi Autumn, Welcome to the group! If I'm not mistaken a baby can have torticollis and still have good range of motion. Your baby is at a great age to receive great correction. Are you thinking of banding her? Where are you located? Are you near a Cranial Tech office? They give free evaluations. Here is their web site to see if they are close to you: http://www.cranialtech.com/ClinicLocations/clinics.html I'm not too sure you'd get great results from repositioning since you're having such a hard time keeping her off her flat spot. It doesn't hurt to try though. Here are some links to repoing if you do decide to try it: http://www.geocities.com/alittleone2000/plagiopage.htm http://www.cappskids.org/CAPPSRepositioning.htm Once again welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Autumn- Welcome to the group! Your daughter is at a good age to benefit from repositioning. You can get some good info here http://www.cappskids.org/CAPPSRepositioning.htm http://www.plagiocephaly.org/support/repotech.htm It is possible for a baby to have tort with ROM, so it is best you get that checked out. You also might want to check to make sure the neurosurgeon is plagio friendly. Many of them aren't! If you are near a Cranial Technologies it would be worth your time to go for a free evaluation. If not, consider posting where you live and perhaps someone here can recommend an ortho or experienced dr for you! We'd love to see pics of your baby! Keep us posted!

Be sure you attempt to reposition (love the name!) as she is sleeping. She's still at a young enough age to get results w/repoing. There are great tips at www.plagiocephaly.org/support repositioning tips. Good for you finding out all this stuff on your own. You've done a great job educating yourself!! Good luck at your drs appt weds., please let us know how it goes. I hope he doesn't give you a hard time about it, some peds unfortunately do My daughter didn't have tort either, but like your , when she laid to sleep, there was about nothing I could do to keep her off her flat right side.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Autumn, Hi and welcome! I see some others gave you some great information. I wanted to share a little bit of my story because it is similar to yours. My little JD (now 8 months old) was born at 35 weeks. You’re right that premies are more susceptible to plagio. Around ’s age, JD also had a flat spot on the back right side of his head from always laying towards the right and he also had similar ear asymmetry. He then started developing torticollis over time because of him always laying towards the right. Tort and plagio usually go hand-in-hand and one can cause the other and vice versa. We started noticing JD’s tort at 4-5 months when we started sitting him up more and noticed that he was starting to be slightly delayed with some of the gross motor stuff (finding out now that the tort was causing him to have difficulty holding his head up). JD also had full range with the tort. Anyway, I think it’s great that you are recognizing this and getting help so quickly. We are now in a band and receiving PT once a week for the tort and some gross motor stuff. I wish we could have gotten started earlier like at ’s age. Keep us posted on what you find out next Wed. If you feel the need, you can also request a PT eval from your ped just to make sure there aren’t any beginning signs of tort. Good luck and welcome again! & JD (DOCband since 2/26) TX -----Original Message----- From: mrsscudder [mailto:mrsscudder@...] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 7:38 PM Plagiocephaly Subject: New Here Hi all...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Keep in mind, if your pedi is knowledgable, they can order necessary cat scans or xrays and write a prescription for the DOC band. If cranio is suspected, a neurosurgeon is good to go to. BUt, that can be done after the xrays are read. You lose precious time by waiting to see a specialist because they are always so booked up.. It took us 5 weeks, and then we had to seek out a proband doc, b/c he wasnt. The earlier you band, the better chance of correcting the assymetry of her ears. Good luck. Look into an orthotist in your area. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 - Welcome to the group! We repositioned our son from 2-4 months with limited success. His flat spot saw progress, but his asymmetries really concerned us! I would suggest taking weekly pictures of all angles of his head. If he has hair, wet it down. A shot from the chin up is great at showing facial and ear asymmetries as well as forehead bossing. I see Debbie gave you a link, you may also want to try http://www.cappskids.org/CAPPSRepositioning.htm Here's a neat product one of our members designed! http://www.tummyplaytime.com Let us know how it goes!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Hi , I can understand your wish to avoid the band/helmet if possible and try repositioning. We did the same thing for our son (now 6 months) based on our ped's recommendation. This worked for a while but the progressed stalled when he turned 4 months. Besides, as my son got older and stronger it was very difficult to keep him repositioned. We still try to keep him on his side/tummy down/sitting up but decided to see a plastic surgeon and move ahead with the DOC band. I feel better with our decision as I know I will have tried everything available to help my little one. The plagio has caused some slight asymmetry on his ears and cheeks (only the doc and I can notice) but I have been told these can get more pronounced with time. My husband is an Ophthalmologist and he also told me that the asymmetries on his face can give him some issues fitting glasses in the future. My son will get banded next week and I am also worried about the weather. However, I have seen LOTS of messages this week from other moms with many tips for keeping our sons cool.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Your story sounds very similar to mine. has left side flatness and we repositioned as well until the improvement stopped. Repostioning is very hard particularly at night. I would put him on his right for night sleep using all kinds of techniques and positioning aids. Every time I went in to check he had escaped. Aidan is at a great age for getting fast results with a helmet. I would go for it. started his helmet at 6 months and I wish we had started earlier. We are already seeing improvement. The repo for stopped getting results at about 4.5 months. Regards Natasha W -----Original Message-----From: nancilou715@...

He is the number one surgeon for BPES in the Southeast and did my daughter's surgeries. She is 15 almost 16 now and had her last surgery this past summer. She is gorgeous.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi Riki: Welcome. I, like you, did not have any information regarding bleph's or the related infertility issues. I spent a good many years and dollars trying to conceive. I wish I would have known sooner. I also am amazed at the results of surgeries being done now. My surgeries total three, and I am not totally satsifed with the outcome either. Maybe it is because of the fabulous results I see with the surgeries being done now. Where were your surgeries performed at and are you considering having more? I am fourty and am wondering if it is too late for me. I look forward to hearing from you.
