Skull reshaping or implants for sloping forehead?

Question

I wear hats daily because of my receding hairline and tilted skull. I don't have enough hair to cover it. My forehead slopes back which is masculine. I've looked into skull reshaping or implants. I feel embarrassed looking into it. I always felt something was off but really noticed two years ago. I can't feel like this about myself anymore. Are there any suggestions for me? My face and jaw go the opposite way tilted which makes it look worse. My jaw and teeth are canted also.

Hi KJ, 
Firstly, don't hesitate to as, if it's something that affects you. You look, preliminarily, to be a good candidate for what is called a pretrichial brow procedure, which - depending on your bony anatomy - could include reducing your frontal bone contour. This is something that would fall under a craniofacial plastic surgery skillset. Hope this helps.

If the goal is to reshape the forehead to change its slope as well as extend further back onto the top[ of the skull, this can only be effectively achieved by a custom forehead-skull implant design. You didn't attached a side or profile view of your forehead which would be useful to do some computer imaging to see how much change in the slope looks good to you.
