It depends on which bumpiness you are talking about. If you are speaking of the bone around your eyebrows, that can be shaved. However, if you are talking about the relative bumpiness at the top of the forehead, that is not shaved. You can lessen it with fillers in the mid forehead.
Having an uneven or bumpy forehead can be distressing. Reducing the bumps can require very invasive surgery. It is relatively easier to raise the depressed areas with filler material - this can often lead to very nice results quickly. Good luck.
There are many different condiitons that are associated with this appearance some of which are called craniosynostosis. The correction is relatively complex and not as easy as it may seem ("just burr it down a little') due to the relative thickness of the bone and presence of the underlying sinus.
Bumpiness in the forehead is probably best treated with a bone bur. This is performed to buff down the outer cable of the bone through a coronal approach and smooth the bone down.

The same regimen we recommend for overall anti-aging skin care maintenance will also greatly augment the results of a facelift. In general, a facelift improves the structure and volume of the face. Skin treatments enhance the finish and surface. A good physical sunblock is one of the key...
For the first 2 nights it is recommended you sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling. You may use a travel pillow to support your neck or a soft towel. This will help decrease the amount of post-operative swelling while healing. You may shower approximately 48 hours after a...
Unfortunately most options are costly but may be partially covered by some insurance plans. Your best choice for long term correction is likely to be either a Sagittal Split Osteotomy with Mandibular advancement or Distraction Osteogenesis. I know that sounds like a bunch of gobbledy gook...
