Can I Do Something About Frontal Bossing Without Surgery?

Question

I'm looking for a way to do something about my frontal bossing without having to get surgery, since that is way to expensive for me... I noticed that the bulging look is partially due to what's overtop of the bone, because when I raise my eyebrows and make a surprised face (I don't really know how to explain but...) my forehead is less protruding. So I think there might be a way to deal with this without getting the bone burred off... Can anyone help me?

In some people fillers either between the brow ridge and the nose or above the bossing can help camouflage bossing without surgery. This is an advanced technique and has higher risk than injection in other areas so please consult with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist highly experienced in injections in this area. I hope this information is helpful.

The only treatment for frontal bossing is to remove the bone. If you inject filler above this it will just make the bossing look larger but it issomething you could try with saltwater to see if you like it.
