Hi, Sharpen that razor blade, shaving the prominent bone is the answer, actually a bone drill is used. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
The prominent bony ridge can be treated by performing either an open or endoscopic approach to burr down the bony ridge istelf.
The height and prominence of the eyebrow bone, the supraorbital bony prominence, is an expression of femininity vs. masculinity. It is nearly absent in feminine foreheads, more prominent in masculine foreheads and extremely pronounced in some men. The extreme being the kind seen in the Cromagnon and Neanderthal cavemen (or if you have no idea to what I am referring, visualize the GEICO cavemen). A prominent supraorbital bony ridge is softened by burring it down with a power burr. However, smoothing it completely may overly feminize a male face.
It can sometimes be camoflaged with fillers. If you fill in the surrounding area, that creates the appearance of less projection of the bone. But this may not be right for you. You may require shaving the bone. I'd suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can take a very close look at you and your anatomy and work with you to devise a treatment plan that will give you the best results.
Hi. I know exactly what you are talking about. You have a prominent nasal spine, which makes it look like your upper lip is hanging from your nose. This is easily corrected with a modified rhinoplasty.
Certainly if there is excess skin of the scalp it can be excised to accomodate for the laxity. You would need an exam.
This is a procedure I have actually done before- a reverse browlift. Essentially the concept is to free up the brows, usually through the endoscopic approach, and secure the brows at a more inferior position with the endotine screws. The result is a lower brow by as much as 1.5 cms.
