Abstract
A method for solving the problem of a patient who was dissatisfied with the shape of the back of his head. Justification for the operation and operation method discussed. In order to plan the operation a plaster cast of the patient's head was used, and for correction of the deformity an implant was constructed of hard silicone. The implant was inserted by means of an incision on the highest point of the back of the head, and fixed to the periosteum. Postoperative course was normal and one year after the operation the patient was satisfied with the result of the operation.
