What is the cost of brow-reduction? What is the severity of my condition and the procedure? What is the recovery time? (Photo)

Question

This has been an issue I've personally struggled with for the past few years. I'm a 21 year old male that has never seen anyone with a thick, prominent, neanderthal-looking, brow-bossing similar too mine. I would greatly appreciate any or all details/tips on the procedure and how I should go about this.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Brow bone reduction is something that I've done for more than 35 years. This involves using a drill to file down the excess bone that you have to make it smooths. See a very experienced surgeon for this procedure as the creation of an unnoticeable scar is very important.

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

can be reduced with reduction procedures but search for ones with experience and who can minimize your access scars.  Your ridge is prominent and your surgeon must be prepared for sinus issues so make sure your surgeon is experienced (I have done none) and has a reasonable revision policy in case things don't turn out as you desired.

Ronald V. DeMars, MD (Retired) · Answer

The reduction of the more prominent bone is done with rasping or filing the excess bone down to a less prominent contour. The recovery requires limited activity for about a week and most patients need pain meds for several days.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

This contour is secondary to increased thickness of the frontal bone. For many years I have treated this by filing the bone to remove the excess.
