I have a prominent brow bone, steep forehead, deep+wide set eyes and bony nose dorsum. In profile, I find the inclination of my nose too vertical and dislike how it has almost the same angle as my forehead. Is it possible to shave down brow bone/forehead to a rounder contour, and also the glabella/radix for a + acute nasofrontal angle and + horizontally angled nose?
