The implant was shaped to recreate the pterion to provide coverage for the cranial defect and to bolster the temporalis muscle to prevent temporal hollowing. The implant was then secured to the bone flap with titanium screws. Cosmetic evaluation was performed from both surgeons and patients perspective...
