Does it look like I have plagiocephaly?

My head shape seems to be flat, I didn't notice at first because I always had my hair grown out and it looked round. Then I got a haircut and noticed it, and then I saw my MRI scan and it seemed really obvious then.

What do you think?

Hello there and welcome to the Changing Faces forum. I'm not sure what led to your going for an MRI scan but I wonder if your health professionals might be able to shed some light? Do you enjoy wearing your hair a bit longer? Good to hear from you.

I think your head falls in the "normal" range. :) Not all heads are shaped the same; genetics, ancestry, region, etc all play a role in our appearance. Just because you think you look different doesn't necessarily mean that you have a condition. Like Dola mentioned, is there a particular reason you had the MRI done? That could shed light on whether you have plagio or not. Also, it never hurts to ask your doc questions about your health that may be of concern to you. Keep us posted!
