Would I need forehead reshaping/contouring? (photos)

Question

Hi, from being a small child I always fell on my head resulting in large bumps that never went down. Resulting in my having a large protruding forehead, this has plagued my life with bullying in childhood and adulthood. My anxiety and confidence issues have left me with no proper romantic relationships or quality of life in general. Forced to wear a hat where ever I go or hide will long hair all my life. I 'm just wondering if anyone can help. Thank you!

There is no doubt that softening forehead and brow bonny prominences will help. This can be done using hairline, zig-zag incision. In the same time,  hairline may be lowered (2-2.5 cm.) what will further camouflage prominent forehead. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello - yes, this is absolutely something we can improve. We do procedures similar to this 3-4 times each week.  The bone can be adjusted to reduce those protuberances, though fully eliminating is not necessarily possible (but often is).

This is probably not from any falls but your genetics. The bony prominences could be shaved down to be flatter.  Find a surgeon who does forehead lifts.  However, if you ever develop a receding hairline, the scar will be visible.  Some improvement could be done through smaller incisions.
