Is it possible to get a browbone reduction to have a more elegant/feminine profile? (photo)

November 23, 2013
Asked By:DeeElle00 in Saint Louis, MO

I am a 29 year old female. I feel I have a very prominent browbone. I feel I am attractive head on but quite unattractive in side profile. Are there any plastic surgeons out there who could do anything about this? I imagine it would require shaving of the browbone to achieve noticable results. How intense would the surgery be and are optimal results achievable? I do not hear of many doctors offering this surgery.

Brow Bone Reduction or Forehead Augmentation Above Brow Bone?
Sirius K. Yoo, MD says:

Hi, there. Thanks for posting this question! As you mentioned, a prominent brow bone can contribute to a “Neanderthal” look. However, a forehead that slopes back may play a role, too. The goal of “forehead recontouring” is to bring the upper third of the face in harmony with the lower t...
