Is Brow Bone Reduction Difficult?

donald
I have a prominent brow, which bothers me as it creates a lump on my forehead and gives me a neanderthal look (picture on the left is me). Is it difficult to lower my brow?Can I expect a result as dramatic as shown by the (software-simulated) picture on the right? I ask because I hear there are limits to how much bone can be shaved.Finally, can be done via intraoral incision (or the scalp)? I'd also appreciate any other info you have about this kind of procedure as it's rarely featured on plastic surgeons' websites.
