There are only a handful of surgeons in the country who do brow bone reduction on a routine basis. I do this procedure every week. The key is finding someone who will set back the brow bone with plates and screws and not just burr down the bone which can leave that area dangerously thin. This can be very difficult and costly to repair. Sarah Saxon, MD
Reduction of the boney ridge at the eye brow requires an x-ray of the skull to see the thickness of the bone,You need to accept a scar in the hairline from ear to ear for exposure and avoiding the nerves. Post operatively there is a lot of bruising and swelling, that can last from 3-6 months.You need to decide whether you want a brow lift at the same time since the surgery is in the same field.Cost about $ 10,000Samir Shureih MD.

It is possible to shave some of the bone at the eyebrow. The access is an incision from ear to ear.Lateral x-ray is needed to see how thick the bone and the frontal sinusSamir Shureih MD.FACS
You are absolutely correct to worry about feminization. Your brow "prominence" is completely normal. The brow reduction surgery is not as simple as just shaving down the bone. This could alter your sinuses as well. I would not recommend this procedure for you.
Changing facial shape is without limitations considering the various implants and procedures available. The real question is would any of these procedures be appropriate.
