What kind of surgery would I need to fix my brow bone?

daytona99Jul 20, 2022
24 cisgender female, I have been born with a male skull, or at least a male forehead! it’s very sharp/angled/slanted and not vertical and round like a female forehead. what would be my options to get it fixed and more feminine? also, is this something only seen in transgender patients, or are there other cisgender females with this problem? wondering if this is something I should ask my doctor about, in case there is a problem, as I have only noticed this in MTF patients when researched.
