Would I be a good candidate for a brow bone reduction? (photos)

Question

I am a cis women, but I feel that I have a fairly strong forehead which gives me a less feminine face overall and makes my chin seem somewhat disproportionate. I wonder if a reduction to my brow bone would give my face a more feminine aesthetic and bring my features into better proportions. Am I on the right track with this assessment or is there another procedure that would aid my face in looking more feminine? Thanks!

I think that could give you a very nice shape to the upper part of your face.  Reducing the brow bone leads to a  substantial change where the face is more feminine and attractive.

You are definitely on the right track. With a more backward sloped forehead profile and higher hairline the brow bone protrusion magnifies those issues. So brow bone reduction would seem helpful. The best way to confirm that approach is by computer imaging to look at the potential change.
