Saggital ridge reduction- aka cosmetic surgery for pointy head?

[Karlton]

There are risks involved. The scar can widen quite a bit. Sometimes restricted blood supply caused by the surgery can result in some permanent shock loss. A repair patient I know developed necrotic tissue from a previous strip surgery from another clinic. He had a smooth scar about the size of an ear that took a considerable number of grafts to conceal.

BTW, I had a scalp reduction when I was younger that resulted in some significant shock loss.

Hi
I think you may have gotten the wrong idea somehow. I am not interested in a scalp reduction. This is a procedure to slightly burr down the very top of the skull bone to appear more smooth, and less pointy. Mine is very pointy. No scalp tissue would be removed, just opened for access, and re-sutured. What would cause the scar to widen in this situation?
