Why is my Forehead Like This Please Help?

is there something wrong with my forehead why is it as if swollen and fat please help......i have not hit my self or had any accidents please answer back thank you......or is it normal and im looking at my self too hard or im going crazy.

A: Frontal Bone Shaping

You have either a large frontal sinus or thickened bone of the area you are looking at.  Most likely it is a combination.  It is important to note that this is often normal in men, but can indeed make you look sinister or severe.  I treat this problem 2-4 times every week.  Simply shaping the bone by thinning it or drilling is not advised in your situation for many reasons. 

There are very few surgeons with experience in treating this problem.  I advise you to avoid a filler of any kind (including fat), "burring" or "drilling" to shape the foreehad. Additionally, I do not believe that an endoscopic procedure would be the right thing for you.  There is not enough exposure through that type of surgery to correct your problem.

Brow Lift Vs Forehead Lift: What's the Difference?

I know this seems like a silly question, but I see both terms used and am not sure if they're the same surgery...

A: Every Forehead Lift is a Browlift but NOT vice versa

This is a good questions! To me, every forehead lift is a browlift but not every browlift is a forehead lift.

The goals of a forehead lift are rejuvenation of the forehead including the brows. Because the brows droop in many of us with aging, they should be repositioned to a pleasing level and shape.

There are browlift approaches that do virtually nothing to the the remainder of the forehead, i.e. no softening of the forehead wrinkles etc.

I hope this helps
