Is it possible to change the concave curve of my forehead? (Photo)

JJDouglasMar 10, 2016
I am a 23-year-old male and feel that my forehead looks very odd in profile. I have a prominent bone that runs along the top of my forehead, which makes the top seem to protrude out and gives me a very concave profile. Is there any surgery available that will shave the bone of the forehead down and permanently change the shape so that it has more of a masculine slope? I don't really want a hairline lowering—I don't want to just cover it up, and the length of it doesn't bother me. Thank you.
