Brow bone shaving or forehead lifting? What would you recommend? (photo)

March 8, 2025
Asked By:Nynke_ in Las Cañadas del Teide, Canarias, España

Hello! I’m a cis woman, but I feel like my prominent brow bone gives me a harsher, more masculine, or even angry appearance. I’ve consulted with a few FFS surgeons in the past. Some recommended brow bone reduction, while another suggested the difference might be minimal. I know a CT scan would provide more clarity, but based on your experience, do you think my case would likely fall under Type 1, 2, or 3? Also, would a forehead lift be a viable alternative to address my concerns? I’d really appreciate any insights you can share. Thank you in advance!
