Female brow bone reduction - am I a suitable candidate? (Photo)

C
cs97Jan 7, 2024

I'm considering a brow bone reduction procedure. I am a cisgender female. I seem to have quite a prominent brow bone. It may only be a minor imperfection, but as a strong brow bone is associated more as a masculine feature I am considering it. I think it would help my confidence and to feel more conventionally feminine. I am hoping it is a relatively simple procedure, as simple as it can be I suppose. So am I a suitable candidate for this procedure? Is it advised to combine with brow lift?

In the photos, the cheeks and nose are not fully visible. Additionally, the visibility of the cornea and the radix of the nose allows us to measure the distance between them and provide information about whether there is a low radix. Apart from this, compared to the upper part of the forehead,...

This is a procedure I do all the time. The photo you sent is very limited in what it shows but in general the forehead can be smoothed across the entire area including above the eyebrows to closer to the hairline. The procedure takes about an hour and lasts forever. Watch our videos to learn...

There are several things that can be done. First of all, we should see a side view photo. That will be the best way to determine what is valuable for you. It may be needed to reduce the forehead, but there are other options.
