Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 I have not heard of that. Would it be strictly for cosmetic reasons? How would it be able to correct any facial asymetry other than the obvious rounding of the head. That would be the biggest concern for me personally. I'm not sure I'd be willing to put my child through that. But then again, you never know what you would do unless faced with the situation. So who knows, it may be the next biggest thing in plastic surgery! It might give some press to plagio. That would be great! Ana > Hello.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 I have a really stupid question. Wouldn't it be soft, like a boob implant? I would think it would kind of gush when you laid on that side of the head. I am having trouble figuring this out. I guess maybe they wouldn't use saline. These are things that make my brain turn as I am trying to sleep. > Hello.
