What is the safest country for forehead contouring/brow bossing?

Question

I'm 22 Female. I have a really masculine brow bone. I'm a bit cautious of brow bossing as I've heard it's dangerous so I'm wondering where is the best place to go for this procedure? Safety and good results are most important to me.

Thank you for asking. The safest country to do any procedure is probably your country of residence by a board certified plastic surgeon or ENT who can properly follow you. So many of the problems that occur with travel procedures are due to the fact that the surgeon performing the procedure does not closely follow and manage issues that occur. Patients frequently have no good recourse and a lesser outcome in these situations. See a qualified local surgeon. Best wishes

All surgeries have risks and benefits. There is no specific country considered "safest".  It is best to start with doing you own due diligent research and seeing the doctors in person for consultations with doctors in your area.

Facial feminization for Brow bossing to achieve a more feminine and attractive appearance. Having done hundreds of these (with or without a Browlift) I can tell you that this rarely has any complication IF done by a very experienced surgeon. My patients return to work in one week and the scar will have hair grow THRU and in front of it so it is not visible. I have never had a bad scar, infection or bleeding, or any complication other than occasional pimples at the hairline as the hair grows thru. Make sure you see a very experienced surgeon who can show you photos of the actual hairline.

Orbital rim contouring, a procedure I've done for many years, is a safe and straight forward procedure as long as one determines bone thickness before surgery. I use the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision technique that I have described. for brow lifting and forehead reduction.
