Do I need an osteoma removal or forehead contouring/reduction for my forehead bump?

There are a few options available to remove a true osteoma of the frontal bone. Forehead contouring and removal of the osteoma are one and the same. In other words, the end goal is to get a smooth forehead by taking down the osteoma. Incisions can be placed horizontally over the osteoma itself or through a remote incision such as the anterior hairline. The remote incision makes it a bit more difficult to get an excellent frontal bone contour but certainly doable. The horizontal incision in line with natural forehead wrinkles heals amazingly well and gives much better visualization of this area. This ultimately helps get a flatter contour with less risk of complications. I have done both approaches.
