It is uncommon for surgery to be used to treat deformational plagiocephaly. Usually, deformational plagiocephaly is treated with repositioning and exercises, in mild to moderate cases, and a cranial orthosis in moderate to severe cases. If you are being told that you need surgery you may want to seek a second opinion.
