I had surgery done last year April so it’s been over a year. The first 6 months I didn’t notice it but since my swelling has gone down I’m left with a major deformity in my forehead. I’m very unhappy with it and I’m worried about having a revision because I still have numbness from my last surgery, I don’t want to make it worse. What are my best options

Hello, hope you are well. Based on these photos it doesn't appear that you have a particularly strong brow ridge, but more of a deep radix (the transition point from the glabella to the nose). Softening this by "raising the indent" can be done with a variety of minimally invasive techniques or...

Brow bossing is a normal male feature. I address this several times each week, but, typically it is an issue for women. Your brow bossing is not extreme, though it can be changed if it bothers you substantially.

This is a common procedure in my office. We can adjust the forehead and eyebrow bones to a smooth natural shape. It takes about 90 minutes and in the many hundreds we've done recovery is typically quick and smooth. Watch our videos to learn more.
