Forehead balance/harmony - which procedures would help me achieve a more feminine look? (Photos)

Asked By:tsmidtboe in Antwerpen, Vlaanderen, Belgium
I'm considering getting some forehead feminising done, and I can't decide which combination of procedures will give me the most harmonious, balanced and feminine look. In order to get the round shape that I want, I either need to get quite an aggressive forehead contouring and brow lift, or a more subtle contouring and brow lift with some lipofilling where there is a "dent" in the middle of the forehead. Perhaps something in between these procedures - I don't know. Please revise the photos where I tried to edit the two possible outcomes to see which is more appropriate. Thank you so much!
