Am I a good candidate for a brow bone reduction? (Photo)

Question

I think my side profile is very masculine. I was curious if I’m a good candidate for a brow bone reduction or maybe there is an alternative? I would love for the area pointed out in red to be flatter and more harmonious with my nose and rest of my side profile. I got a rhinoplasty in December.

Hello, hope you are doing well. The area you have outlined is also called the glabella. At The Spiegel Center, we routinely perform forehead contouring as a method to feminize the face. This involves creating an incision in the scalp to access the glabella in order to reduce the bony projection. There is not an alternative that I am aware of that can produce a comparable effect without directly addressing the bone itself. Sometimes a browlift and/or forehead reduction (hairline advancement) is performed at the same time based on the patients goals and anatomy. Based on the photo you provided, you would be a candidate for this procedure. You can view results of surgery on The Spiegel Center website, if interested.
Cheers,Dr. Tower
