Re: 16mm asym. Did you babys asym fix in his or her face?

[Guest guest]

We started at 16mm and after about 3 months we were down to 3mm

16mm asym. Did you babys asym fix in his or her face?

Who has had 16mm or above and how much correction did you see?I went yesterday and they scan his head and it is at 16mm he is 6.5 months old he has had his helmet on for a month and a half. The doctor told him that he never knows what the face asym will do. That is my major concern. Please let me know if your childs face was corrected or not. The unknown is hard but maybe a little possitive stories might help.

My son started with 20mm asym at 6 months and finished with 9mm at 9 months with

his first DOC band. He started his second at 10 months. He's been wearing his

second for 6 weeks and we can already see a great deal of correction. CT feels

at the end of treatment, around 6 more weeks, he will be down to a 3 or so.

Good Luck to you!

My sons really almost completely corrected. He looks great, he was 15 mm and banded for 8 weeks from 4 months to 6. You will see correction, dont give up hope. Tammy

My son wasn’t measured before his

first band, but before his second band he measured 14mm – so I have to

assume he was at least 18mm if not more to start. We began the journey at

6 months and finished at 12 months. He just graduated with only 1mm of asymmetry,

so yes it definitely helps! To be honest, I didn’t notice his

facial or ear asymmetry prior to the banding – but, yes, obviously he had

it and now I do notice it. His ears are still off, but only the trained

eye (or obsessed mother’s eye!) would notice. He does still have

some facial asymmetry – basically the right side of his face looks a bit

bigger than the left (by his upper cheekbone/temporal area), but it appears I

am the only one fixated on it so it really isn’t too bad.
