According to a friend of mine, he said that surgeons can reshape the jaw, face, and skull even into adulthood, not just infancy. Does anyone know how true this is? I'm just curious.
Answer:
Doctors prefer to wait until the skull has stopped growing to preform corrective surgery. But often operate on people of all ages, especially if deformities are life threatening etc. Otherwise more surgery may be needed. Surgeons can do amazing reconstructive work now. They use Teflon, and other materials to replace missing bone.
