There are several synonyms for skull reconstruction, including craniofacial reconstruction, cranioplasty, skull reshaping, and skull remodeling. These terms refer to the surgical process of restoring or enhancing the appearance and function of the skull and facial bones following an injury or deformity. Craniofacial reconstruction is often used to correct congenital defects such as cleft lip and palate, while cranioplasty is more commonly used to repair damage caused by trauma or disease. Skull reshaping and remodeling can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as altering the shape and symmetry of the skull to improve facial proportions and aesthetics.
