The bone on the right side of my forehead is sticking out more than the other side. Why is that? (Photo)

melih1122Oct 27, 2020

I‘ve noticed this recently a lot whenever someone takes pictures of me. How there’s a slight bump on one side of my forehead. Also when I touch it I can feel it. It used to be less noticeable, but since I lost about 17 pounds and my face has become more defined I can see it more. It always depends on lighting and the angle of the picture, but it definitely bothers me and would love to know what it is and if there‘s a way to remove it? Or should I get it checked?

Yes, by placing the incision at your hairline, your hairline can be lowered so that the distance from your eyebrows to your hairline will be less. This does change the actual size of your head but provides a better balance between the forehead, mid and lower face. Hope this helps! Sincerely...

First, you need to determine whether the bump is an osteoma (bone) or lipoma (soft tissue). A CT scan will reveal this. Depending on the results, the bump can then be removed.

You do have relatively two mild bony prominence, one on each side in the suprabrow area. But apart from that, your forehead is relatively normal. I think what is exaggerating the concerns you have highlighted is your high hairline. I think you would benefit from simply considering hairline...

This could be an osteoma or lipoma. If it is soft and movable, it is likely a lipoma. If it firm it may be an osteoma, An x-ray will help determine the answer. Osteomas can be removed easily from a small incision in the forehead hairline.

You appear to have a normal forhead but with a high frontal hairline. Hairlines can be surgically lowered with scalp advancement and/or hair transplants.  In my own practice we tend to turn to hair transplants because it is less invasive.Hope this helps.

I cannot think of a scenario where hairline lowering would be a good idea in a male who will inevitably experience frontal hairline recession and eventually a large and visible scar.  FUE is absolutely the way to proceed..
