What can I do about my temporal bones sticking out too far? (Photo)

August 31, 2023
Asked By:teriharlow in Fore Store, Virginia

Hello I’m a 27 year old female. Ever since I was in high school, I noticed that my forehead was wide and bones protruded out. It’s worse when I smile. I know I could get a hair transplant to hide some of it, but I worry that it won’t cover it all because it also creates horrible temporal cavities next to my eyes. I just wish I had a smooth upper face. I am highly considering a hair transplant as my hairline has always been bad and got worse after pregnancy. What can I do?
