Kia:

She's adorable! What's her name?

It's so hard to see plagio from a face on photo, is the plagio on the

left side? That's what it looks like from the picture. I wouldn't

say you are overreacting one bit - you're doing the right thing by

being concerned & bringing it to your family's attention!

Debbie,

Her name is Logan, and I think she's a cutie too. The back right side of

her head is flattened, and I'm not sure if that means she has right or left

plagio? It looks like in the picture that her right cheek is bigger, right

eye is bigger, and right ear is forward. I know that her ears are

misaligned, because I noticed that when I saw her. But I had trouble seeing

any facial asymmetry in person. Now I'm wondering if she does have some, or

if it's just the position she's in (or the fact that I'm looking for it so

hard)? Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kia

Kia,

Logan is a doll. What cheeks!!

I'm seeing what you're seeing. Yes, if the right side of the head is

flattened, than she has right side plagio. She's young enough to get

great results with repositioning. Please keep us posted.

From what I was told by my PT tort usually causes flatness on the opposite side of the tilt, so she most likely has left tort. I am not sure about the difference between plagio, though.
