Could a brow bone reduction be performed under local anesthesia and sedation?

ejv33Sep 30, 2024
I'm interested in a brow bone reduction, brow lift, and hairline advancement for facial feminization. I have malignant hyperthermia and I'm nervous about general anesthesia. Is it possible to perform these procedures under sedation and local anesthesia? I'm also looking to reduce costs.

Hello, hope you are well. Brow bone implants are safe and reliable. The risks involve scar visibility, injury to the nerves that supply sensation to the forehead and scalp, injury to motor nerves for forehead movement, implant malposition, or extrusion. These are are all exceedingly rare...

Hi yes you have a somewhat flat eyebrow and mild amount of temporal hooding, which makes you look less feminine. A browlift and uppper eyelid surgery to reshape these structures will help.

Forehead dents after surgery and what to do? I would need to see you in person as well as an operative report from your surgeon to determine what can be done to repair this. Make sure you see a very experienced FFS surgeon to repair this.
