Brow Bone Reduction Procedure and Costs

There are several ways to perform this procedure that your surgeon should be familiar with, because different patients will require different methods.  For instance, a trichophytic incision is likely not the best option for you as they often do not heal well with darkly pigmented skin.  An incision further back and hidden in your hair my be better for you.  Burring down the bone will work for some patients who only want a small change, but most of the patient's I have operated on require that the bone be set back and reattached to get the best result.  Costs range from roughly $3,000-6,000.  Have a face to face discussion with a surgeon who performs these procedures regularly and they will be able to tell you what would be best for you. Bryan Rolfes, MD

The brow bone can be reduced. This is usually performed by an incision placed within the hair or along the hairline that allows access to the bone of the forehead and supraorbital rim. The bone is then drilled down with a burr to reduce its prominence. There is a limit to how much reduction is possible. In some cases, there is a prominence of muscle and soft tissue that contributes to the fullness as well.Be sure to see a surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures to discuss all of the options in detail.All the best,

If you are considering surgery, it is best to have a consultation with a doctor in person to understand if you would be a candidate.
