Hello, thank you for your question. There are two possible procedures: brow contouring and/or frontal augmentation. Brow contouring addresses a prominent brow bone and involves shaving down the brow bone to produce a less-prominent appearance.  Frontal augmentation addresses a backward-sloping forehead and my preferred approach is to inject a bone filler on top of the frontal bone to bring the area above the brow “forward.” One or both of these two operations may be necessary to achieve your desired look. It is difficult to know without examining your unique facial structure. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience.

Contouring of the forehead bone prominence can be achieved through a hairline incision to expose entire forehead; using surgical burr redundancy and irregularities of the bone can be contoured. This is done in twilight anesthesia and recovery time is minimal. In person consultation with board certified plastic surgeon familiar with this technique is recommended. Good luck.

Brow bone reduction with or without a Browlift and  Hairline Lowering. This can be done using the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Lowering and removing excess orbital  bone but NOT the other part since your Brain is on the other side. See a very experienced surgeon familiar with this technique and look at close-up pictures of the incision at the hairline
