Cranioplasty Cost In Cape Town

Whatsapp ChatWhatsApp Us

Cranioplasty is a medical procedure for fixing and repairing cranial defects caused by any injury or previous surgery.

It is done for cosmetic and functional purposes and in case of skull defects, accident cases, or post-operative reconstruction.

In cranioplasty, a material is used to fill the gap to compensate for the loss and restore function, like a piece of bone or any synthetic material.

It can restore the standard shape of the skull by inducing fat grafting or any method. It is often used to fill up the gap after craniotomy.
