I am a 30 year old male with a protruding brow bone. My problem is that one side protrudes more than the other.

Question

Whats the most minimally invasive way to correct this meaning reduce and even out? I heard of one procedure using endoscopy. How effective is that? How much would it cost? More importantly, what would my scars look like long term after surgery and the possible risk?

Dear Sed2icey,It sounds that you are very concerned about the surgery complications and you should know that with
any cosmetic procedure there are some complications and risks that can happen.
Facial plastic surgeons are specialists who focus on this sort of surgery and
because of their experience achieve excellence in brow and forehead plastic
surgery. I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon to receive the highest quality care, treatment, skill and knowledge available to achieve some of the best results with your brow lift.

Your bro blown can be reduced through a hairline incision with the hair growing through the line afterwards so it is not seen. This should be done by a very experienced surgeon familiar with this technique. Look at before and after pictures of a surgeon who can show you many examples of this.

John Dean, MD · Answer

Brow contouring can be done to even out the asymmetry that you are describing.  It should be done in such a way that hides the scar necessary to get the bone shaving device into the area.  I would tend to put the cut in through the hair bearing portion of the scalp, unless a patient has a very receding hairline.

Thank you for your question.  Judging from your concerns, it appears that you are looking for an endoscopic frontal bone reduction.  Typically, an incision is made slightly behind the hairline in one or two location depending on the areas to be treated.   The region to be treated is dissected and then an acorn burr (or similar device) is used to smooth down the bone underneath the skin and muscle.  Would find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and request a consult.  Best of luck to you.

The fullness above the brows can be reduced by trimming the underlying bone through a hairline incision which is hidden by burying hair follicles under the incision. Select a surgeon who is experienced with this technique.
