Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi, I underwent a frontal craniotomy due to a brain tumor, and it left a bone dent and a bulging bone part in my forehead.. What options would you recommend for surgery? And would it be possible to give an estimation of the cost? Thank you

A:Give that this was from a prior craniotomy where a large incision exists for access and there remains bone gaps in the depressed bone flap the use of hydroxyapatite bone cement to fill and smooth over the defect would be the most prudent material approach for forehead recontouring.
