Would forehead reduction and bone rasping improve the look of my forehead? (Photos)

Hi everyone! I have a very Prominent frontal lobe on my forehead and I’d like to know if a forehead reduction and bone rasping would improve the look of my forehead. Due to the prominent bone, it makes my profile significantly flat. Id like to know if such a procedure is even possible. Thank you all in advance!
