Can I Do Something About Frontal Bossing Without Surgery?

Girl2345Jul 30, 2013

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?
