Glabella is too wide: Is there a name for this procedure?

Question

Is there a procedure to make the glabella or the bone underneath it, which is just above the radix, narrower? This is the area that I pinch between my fingers and the inner corners of my eyes look better and more defined and less angry. Is there a name for this procedure? Thanks

A prominent glabella secondary to fullness of the underlying bone can be reduced with a procedure we call orbital bony contouring. This is accomplished with a small burr removing some of the excess bone. We have been doing this for many years frequently combined with a brow lift or hairline lowering if necessary using an incision at the hairline or within the hair.

As you did not show photos of yourself, the comment that you have a bony abnormality of the face should be discussed with an expert who does this type of surgery
