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

Question

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?

Filler can be applied to the hollow area to make your face more harmonious.Your goal is achievable in the expert hands, you need to be sure that your surgeon is a professional, exprienced facial plastic surgeon.

Your pictures are from pretty far away but you appear to have a prominent frontal eminence often referred to as a forehead horn. This bony prominence can be reduced through an small hairline incision right above it.

These photos do not show the forehead close enough to draw conclusions. Please supply close up photos of your face and forehead
