Can a young female get brow bone reduction?

Sophriguez360Jan 6, 2015
I'm a 17 year old girl from Lancashire, UK, with a masculine brow bone. I've noticed the female brow bone is so flat, and the males sticks out. Well, mine sticks out like a males, and it's taking over my life. The bone above my eyes is so thick, that my eyes are sinking away, or so it feels. I'm becoming agrophobic, i hate looking at myself, i never take photos, i don't know what to do! Please help!

Forehead forehead reduction surgery can indeed be done. It is certainly not the case that you would need any kind of special Imaging unless you have an unusual history such as trauma or prior surgery to the area. Endoscopic reduction of the brow bone should not be done except for the very rare...

Masculine appearance in a female--what to do? Your brow bone is not the problem. You need a forehead lift and your nose made more feminine and this will make you much more attractive and feminine.

Unfortunately theater few surgeons who know how to do this surgery and I do not know of any there. Choose wisely because over 35 years of doing this surgery I have seen far too many complications from inexperienced surgeons.

You are absolutely correct to worry about feminization. Your brow "prominence" is completely normal. The brow reduction surgery is not as simple as just shaving down the bone. This could alter your sinuses as well. I would not recommend this procedure for you.
