My forehead left side has always been somewhat like in the photo, I tink from an old injury, but a year ago I wore a hat that was too tight for 8 hours and it swelled a little and turned hard making the bump much worse, is there a way to smooth it out?

I do this kind of thing frequently. Usually this is a lipoma of the forehead which may happen, I believe, after trauma (or just bad luck). We typically need to remove them, but, I can usually do this endoscopically with no visible scarring.

Forehead reduction (hairline lowering) can reduce the height of your forehead and improve the overall balance of your face. This procedure can be particularly effective if your hairline is high or if the forehead appears disproportionately large compared to the rest of your facial features...

Thank you for your query. A forehead reduction with some FUE hair grafts should give you excellent results. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Based on what I can see from the photos, there appears to be a noticeable prominence in the forehead and a relatively high hairline that may be contributing to your aesthetic concerns. In cases like this, I personally prefer forehead reduction (hairline lowering) surgery as the first approach....

You do have prominent forehead but it does not look like a craniostenosis. Contouring of bony prominences and lowering of hairline would improve current appearance. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with background in craniofacial surgery is recommended. Good luck.
