I have a prominent brow and nose. I am a female and I think I will look much more appealing with a softer look. I was wanting to know more about the pain and procedure combined?

Answer: Brow Bone Reduction and Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty and brow boen reduction can be combined in one operation. While both usually require an open approach the techiques used for them can be quite varied. Most female brow bone reductions usually involve burring the outer table of the frontal sinus only. (unlike men) It is not usually a painful procedure as the forehead will be numb for awhile afterwards. Each rhinoplasty can be done very differently depending on the needs of the nose. It also is not painful even if the bones are broken and one gets bruising under their eyes. I would expected some eyelid swelling when both are done together.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and brow bone shave A full set of pictures are required to make any determination about being a candidate for rhinoplasty and brow bone reduction. The rhinoplasty procedure is not painful, as long as there is no packing placed inside the nose. Look for a rhinoplasty specialist that does not place any packing in in the nose, since this practice has been abandoned many years ago. The outer cortex of the forehead bone can only be shaved down a couple millimeters before entering the frontal sinus, which will create a defect if that occurs.
