My head is extremely wide (brachycephalic). Can consistent pressure remodel my skull’s shape by narrowing its width?

Wouldn’t thinning your skull weaken it, putting you at a higher risk of fracturing your skull from blows to the head?
According to eppley, no:

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have seen that you offer skull reshaping. You said that the maximum that can be reduced is 5 to 7 mm. My question is, will that be enough to make a difference in someone who has a big head? I mean, a visual difference. Would it make a difference also when buying hats and sunglasses? I don’t expect a huge reduction, but I am just figuring out how much of a visual improvement I could expect. Lastly, if you take out the outer table of the skull, doesn’t it make it more susceptible to fractures? I would be scared to bump my head and injure my brain. Thanks

A: It...

what's so bad with a wide skull? if you have hunter eyes combined with it and good maxilla it looks really good.

you think this guy

has potential to resemble this guy

in any way, shape , or form?
are you actually that old though? i searched up kazakh men and just took it since i guess you have the same pheno. it really depends how old you are i think you can pull it off if you're young. lose fat, hard mew, use minoxidil on the eyebrows, and try to increase your dht and androgen receptors to grow the browridge. since you have a wide face i already guess you have a wide palate.

Yeah, just like with streamers and gamers who wear headsets for to long. Also cranium size is a correlate for iq.

A too wide face make eyes appear narrow. Its a huge looksmin.

I feel you bro.

it would likely take 5 years to get a 2mm skull reduction at most
imagine youd have to wear a helmet for 5years just to get 1.5mm reduction, which would not even be visually noticeable
+ get shitton of sides like lower IQ and headaches on top 😹😹

besides facial bones are thinner and more malleable than the bones on the skull, wich are thick asf
theyre also made to handle constant pressure n shit so they wont respond to external forces the same way your zygos will for ex

Most people didn't take the question seriously (smh) but

Humans deformed their craniums with gradual pressure.

Yeah that type of deformation looks like ass. But can’t you use the same general method (artificial cranial deformation) to improve your aesthetics?

For instance, if your skull is overly wide like so:

What if you wear a horizontally tight, narrow helmet for several hours daily?
 
nope, the bones are fused bro

sutural growth is not the only way bones develop.

just because their sutures are fused doesn’t mean the bones don’t change shape via continuous osteoclast and osteoblast activity.

A: It many cases it can be surprising how much of a difference 5 to 7mms in skull reduction creates when done on a near circumferential manner. Given that the skull thickness ranges anywhere from 12 to 20mms depending upon the location, there is no danger of increased susceptibility to skull fracture after a burring reduction.

Another quote:

Compared to making the overall size and shape of the skull larger, reducing a large skull is both more challenging and less visibly successful. Safe skull reduction is limited to reducing/thinning of the outer table or cortex of the skull. This leaves the underlying diploic space and inner cortex of the skull intact. While this maintains solid protection of the brain, it also limits how much a skull can be visibly reduced. Bone burring is the method used (not entire skull plate removal) and cannot be reduced more than about 5mm to 7mms on any given skull area. When done over a large skull area this can create a greater difference than that number alone suggests but the overall skull reduction is never going to be greater than about 10% to 15% of its overall size. Such skull reduction efforts require longer scalp incisions to do than many skull augmentation.

youre right but thinner bones are much more reactive to external force and therefore osteoclast/osteoblast activity, like the ones in your maxilla for example. The bones on the skull are way too thick to react the same way

heres the mechanics equation for tensional stress:

σ=F/A

A thicker bone, due to its larger cross-sectional area, will have a lower stress when the same force is applied. This means the bone will deform less, as the stress is distributed over a greater area.

But a thinner bone has a smaller cross-sectional area. When the same force is applied, the stress will be higher.

could you imagine if all of our bones reacted the same way to external forces
this means youd get shorter every day from standing up, as your leg bones would shrink
your neurocranium would deform from sleeping on your back, etc
The only bones susceptible to deformation from external forces is the thin bones at the center of your face tbh
