What surgery will I need to reduce the forehead bossing? (Photo)

Question

I have really prominent forehead bossing which has been causing me more and more distress with age as I have been bullied for it and I'm anxious to go out because of this problem. Which surgery will be best to reduce this and will I ever be able to have a normal forehead? I appreciate any help, Thanks.

You have upper forehead bossing ir more commonly referred to as forehead horns. Your upper forehead horns can be reduced to a more normal and less protrusive shape through a bone burring technique from an incision behind your hairline. Such upper forehead bone reductions are usually in the range of 5mms or less in thickness which is within the range of safe frontal bone removal.
