Hi I had two craniotomies( 2018 and 2020). I have a dent - especially after the last one which had 33 staples, the skull changes shape and it's actually bone that changed in my case. I don't mind as I'm not dead and I have SFH which means i'm on active surveillance.

Thanks for getting back to me the dents remind me of my crainiotomie to much I found it to distressing as I ended up paralysed during the op scared the shit out of me at the time as couldn’t talk to let the surgeon know fair play to you getting through 2 I didn’t go through with my second as my neurologist suggested monitoring rather than being left blind or wheelchair bound but I didn’t have any dents for about 6 months. I know I have more things to worry about than scars n dents . I have the plastic surgeon Tuesday to see if anything can be done at all if they can’t I’m not going to worry anymore
