In summary, there have been cases of people getting plastic surgery to resemble their idols, such as Superman Herbert Chavez and Justin Bieber (Toby Sheldon). It is possible to change the shape of the skull through plastic surgery, but it may not be a desirable option for everyone.

There have been cases of people going under the knife in order to look more like an idol, be it Superman Herbert Chavez)or Justin Bieber (Toby Sheldon). If someone wants to look like a neanderthal, can plastic surgery be used to change the shape of the skull? If it is possible to look like famous superheroes and singers, surely it should be possible to look like an ancient caveman, right?

Yes, but I don't think that your parents would be happy about it.
