I have my father's forehead and I'm really insecure about it. I feel like it's the FIRST thing people see when they look at me because it's so prominent. Not only is it long, but it's sort of bumpy, if that makes sense. I feel like it distracts from the rest of my pretty features. I'm 17 btw

Answer: Long forehead Dear LeoCancer98, Thank you for your clinical post and from your description it sounds as though you have a high forehead with some topical irregularities. In general, when patients of skeletal maturing and adult there are options to lower hairline, as well as to smoothen out the forehead. However, the decision to undergo cosmetic plastic surgery to alter one’s appearance is a complex one and rarely one that should be made during adolescence.Adolescence is a time of self image development and most plastic surgeons who are certified and conscientious would advise you to wait until you’re at least 19 years old, have reached skeletal maturity and have a better sense of self before determining whether to alter your forehead appearance. Just be reassured there are ways to smoothen out your forehead and lower your hairline to achieve a more feminine appearance, but wait until you’re a fully formed adult prior to undergoing risk and recovery for a medically unnecessary but perhaps cosmetic important procedure. I hope this information has been of some assistance and best of luck. For more information, please review the link below. R. Stephen Mulholland, M.D. Certified Plastic Surgeon Yorkville, Toronto

Answer: Long Forehead Please clarify your question. Is your forehead big or is it the contour that you don't like? These are two different problems. I look forward to your response so I can make specific recommendations.
