@caitlinrgreen So we're not the first humans to try to "improve" upon what nature gave us with implants, lifts and tucks, and Botox!
@caitlinrgreen interesting stuff. I wonder how & why it was first discovered and used. 'Oops, I bound & deformed my skull by accident'
@caitlinrgreen That is very interesting. Some of the writing is rather small for me though. Thank you very much for sharing.
@caitlinrgreen Re speculation on neuro. impairment: infants born with closed cranial sutures are sometimes denied coverage for surgery (1/2)
@caitlinrgreen on grounds that in some cases it's cosmetic surgery. Obvious damage results from some forms; in other cases, unknown. (2/2)
@caitlinrgreen Before age 3 mos, can be fixed by head deformation after simpler surgery to open suture. Baby wears a helmet for ca. 1 year.
