At What Age Can Prominent Ridge, Triangulaion To Shape Of Head Be Corrected In A Child?

I just discovered what i believe is most certainly a prominent ridge on my 18month old son. By doing some web research & comparing pics, I also believe that there is some form of triangulation to the shape of his head. My question is this. is he too old for surgical correction of the problem? I have an appointment scheduled with the pediatrician already.

regards,

no this is not like that if the disease is diagnosed it can be treated you can go for surgical correction depending on the other factors required to be fit for surgical correction of the problem
