Large forehead has always knocked my confidence. (photo)

mmigJun 8, 2016
My forehead has always upset me what can I do? I'm 23, perhaps too young for a transplant. Is hairline lowering surgery also not an option? I have taken propecia for the last two years to make sure my hair remains stable. Just to make clear my large forehead has always been like that- not as a result of hair loss. I do have slight recession, I have used propecia, modafinil & Nioxin for the last 2 years and my hair has since been stable. My big forehead has always made me so self conscious

If this is bone, which can be documented with one x-ray, it can be filed to improve the contour of your forehead. In fact I did this very procedure on a young man at the same time I did his rhinoplasty last week. His bump was also secondary to previous trauma.

If you are not pleased with your facial features and you are considering cosmetic surgery, it is best to see a doctor in person for a consultation.

These bumps are bony and the only way to address this is to have it shaved down by an expert, usually a maxillofacial surgeon
