There are a couple of reasons why you are noticing your forehead. One is that the bone is slightly sloped outward, but it doesn't look like a lot from your photo. The main reason is it noticeable is that your hairline is a little high exposing that part of your head. If you simply lower your hairline about an inch you wouldn't really notice the bone as it slopes back. Lowering the hairline entails making an incision within your hairline. Stitches stay in for a week, but a lot of people even wear a headband a few days after surgery to cover it up and go about their day since recovery is not bad at all. Once the stitches come out the incision stays pink for a few months, but you can cover it up with concealer. Hair starts to grow through the incision at about 3 months to make it not noticeable at all. Best of luck to you, Sarah Saxon, MD
