How do I reduce my brows? Very broad and protrusive brow-ridge. (photos)

I have a very broad and protrusive brow-ridge and it is quite unattractive. It gives me a Neanderthal/Ape likeness that really stresses me out everytime I look in the mirror. It’s the Browridge and my forehead protrudes so far outward. This procedure is popular among trans people however I don’t wish to feminize my face whatsoever. I just need simply to make it all fit more uniformly and shave a little off. Unsure of my options; do I get a brow-bone reduction or is it just excess skin?

Brow bossing is a normal male feature. I address this several times each week, but, typically it is an issue for women. Your brow bossing is not extreme, though it can be changed if it bothers you substantially.

This is a common procedure in my office. We can adjust the forehead and eyebrow bones to a smooth natural shape. It takes about 90 minutes and in the many hundreds we've done recovery is typically quick and smooth. Watch our videos to learn more.

Bone prominences should be treated surgically, shaping the bone with a burr. However, you seem to have a very high forehead, making bone irregularities even more visible; asymmetry of eyebrows is another issue. An open forehead lift with an incision along the hairline would allow contouring of...

Brow bone reduction for the cis gender female is best accomplished using the Irregular Trichophytic Browlift with or without hairline lowering and Brow bone reduction. I invented this procedure which does not leave a noticeable scar.
