Guest guest Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Our specialist (cranio facial plastic surgeon recommended banding at 10mm or more). Some people band at lower numbers. There are some side effects associate with plagio, but some people/doctors insist it is entirely cosmetic. In my mind it doesn't matter which is true, I think correcting your child to be cosmetically normal is fine. You're fixing a part of the body which is deformed. At 10 mm it depends a lot on what your child looks like. If you're not happy with her head now, this is the time you can do something to improve it. Without a band it might improve some on her own, but it may not. -christine sydney, 4.5 yrs, starband grad > > My computer won't let me put in a subject line...sorry. > > My daughter has a head difference of 10mm. She was measured at 2 months and again at 6 months-with no change. We are going to have her evaluated to see what the Dr. says about possibly banding her. What are the implications of not banding? Is 10mm significant? Is it just cosmetic? Are there internal complications that can happen? Any help would be appreciated. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
