I'm a female with a flat squared forehead and exaggerated brow bone. Looking for ways to make it look more feminine? (photo)

I see a lot of women with smooth rounded foreheads, where mine is square and embossed because of my browbone. I've looked up forehead contouring including implants and cement, browbone reduction/ brow lift, and hairline lowering. I'm trying to figure out what the most natural procedure or combination of procedures would be to achieve a more feminine looking forehead?

Facial feminization surgery to adjust the jaw can loosen the skin in some people.  Your chin looks a bit wide in the photo so it's hard to tell how much was taken off or when the surgery was.  You may benefit from a facelift, laser, or other procedures.  Additional photos will help.

Oronoalex,I think a lip lift is the answer for you.  Considering faces from a gender perspective is something I have pioneered, and that may be the key for you. It's a quick procedure and very effective. Please see a number of my videos.
