I've seen that a recent study has shown promising results in using a drug called verteporfin (normally for glaucoma) for scarless healing. From what I can tell it's worked well in mice, and clinical trials are anticipated to happen soon. That being said, I'm having a forehead reduction surgery shortly and I'm wondering if it's appropriate for me to request that my doctor try this in an off label use to mitigate scar formation. Is this a reasonable request for a patient to make?

Correction of brow bone excess with or without a Browlift. I invented the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift with or without Hairline lowering and Brow bone removal and have done more than a thousand without a noticeable scar. You can decide if at the same time the excess brow bone is removed...
Without seeing a picture of you, this is impossible to fully answer. With that said, you can either maintain or eliminate a widow's peak with a hairline lowering. I can't comment about the 3.1cm without knowing anything about your elasticity.
To answer your question, yes we can reshape the hairline with a hairline lowering procedure and I often even out the sides when one is higher than the other. The 2 photos you posted look like 2 different people so I'm not sure what's going on there.
