Is Forehead Width Reduction Possible Without Altering the Hairline?

Question

I read somewhere that minor skull burring is possible, can this also be applied to the forehead bone from the sides?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Forehead reduction or skull burring does not reduce the width of a forehead.  You generally need a hair transplant surgery to narrow the forehead.

Jeffrey Epstein, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, it is possible usually to take down portions of the frontal bone, through several small incisions.

Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

Yes it would be possible to burr down frontal bone prominences to some degree. I have done this in several patients.  However, they also needed hair line lowering with it. In your case, it may be different. See picture below.

Kris Conrad, MD · Answer

Yes, it is possible by applying a special technique of placing the incisions to preserve the hairline.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

There are doctors who offer surgeries that can shave the forehead. These are often plastic surgeons or maxillofacial surgeons.
