I feel uncomfortable with the way my forehead looks due to frontal bossing, is there anything I can do to fix this issue? (Photo

Question

I have frontal bossing in my forehead it makes me feel weird and uncomfortable, is there anything that I can do from home? The both sides of the frontal bossings were equal, but after a bike accident it feels like the left side looks smaller than the right and I don't like my face in the photos so I cropped my face except for my forehead. What treatment suggestions do you have?

Hello,This is something we do all the time.  The bone can be adjusted, reduced, moved, or filled in as needed to create a more attractive appearance and contour.It takes a bit more than an hour and works very well.Shaving is only sometimes the answer as more commonly the bone is thin and needs to be repositioned.  Watch our videos to learn more.

Using hairline incision one can contour forehead irregularities using a combination of shaving the protruding areas and filling depressions with bone cement or bone paste. This is done in twilight anesthesia. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

With frontal bossing, the forehead can be shaved down to eliminate the bossing. You need to see a facial plastic surgeon for this.
