Can the bone itself, near the hairline also be shaved (with a burr)? (photos)

Asked By:Jasmin_21 in US

Not referring to the shaving of brow ridge but to higher up. I appreciate that a different way of achieving a similar 'result' might be to 'build out' the mid forehead with bone cement (and then shape it accordingly) - but was wondering instead if the bone close to the hairline might be shaved and shaped direct. I find my forehead too flat (and not 'soft') in front profile. If the bone can be shaved direct what sort of depth can be shaved off in this area. There is a slight prominence running across my forehead between approx the 1 cm & 2.5 cm mark.
