Untreated Craniosynostosis, OCD, Anxiety

      I was born with metopic craniosynostosis in 1995. When I came out of the womb I had the signature cone on my forehead to the right. The doctors told my mother this was normal and would smooth itself out, no further evaluation took place. Fast forward 20 years later and my face is uneven, I have a persistant metopic suture, and my self esteem is shot. I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder in eighth grade, and have constant axiety about what others think of my head and face. My questions are; is there an operation I can undergo to fix my skull/face, and, is this an example of negligance on behalf of the doctors?
