What is causing my forehead and overall body to look like this? (Photo)

hashbrownJul 14, 2022
Around 2012 I noticed that my forehead looked like this, but recently it has been looking worse. Could a hormonal imbalance be causing this? Would it be worth it to get hormone levels tested? I feel like I have higher levels of male hormones because of my prominent brow bone, my prominent nose (this pic was taken after my rhinoplasty), I have very little breast tissue, I can't gain weight, I suffer from moderate acne still at age 30. My body shape is boyish; I feel like a male tween.

It is impossible to give you meaningful answer without in person evaluation or at least a series of good photos. Generally speaking, reduction of forehead height and limited bone contouring may be achieved in the same surgery. Hope this helps.
