I don't know if you all remember me..I only posted a couple of times. I have identical twins with metopic ridges. I went to see several doctors in NY and emailed doctor Fearon - all docs told me it was just a ridge and it would get better with time.
Well, I wanted to post a pic update so you all could see how much better my boys look at 17 months. I keep coming back here to read all the success stories and I wanted to post to let you - mom's of kids with just a ridge - and no trigonocephaly - know that the head shape and ridge do get better with time.
First photo is Lucas and second is Dylan. Hope you all are well and Happy New Year!

so cute, and looking great, my dd is 15 months now and she is mild metopic, the improvements in her head shape over the past couple of months has been amazing! Thanks for sharing!

They are adorable, and their foreheads are looking GREAT! It give hope to the wait and watch group that often wonder how it will look over time. Thanks for keeping us updated, and hope to see some more when they turn 2... Congrats!

Can you post some pics of what they looked like before hand? It is SOOO nice to talk to someone else with just a ridge, my son has a metopic ridge with no cranio. So far though his ridge isn't getting any better but also doesnt seem to be getting worse (he'll be 18 months on the 24th)

What beautiful boys you have! Thanks for sharing your recent pics. I know that they will help others who have travelled the same road.

Here is a photo of them at 10 months (so, about 9 months ago) for comparison:
