I have a protruding forehead. What can be done? (Photo)

Question

I have a protruding upper forehead. The bone above my eyes is fine by me. I am only curious about the upper section for he head. It is very noticeable under artificial lighting. I read that this is done via a method were you get a scar along your hairline. Given that it looks like my hairline is receding already, I would like to know if there is another way. Thanks

It is the contour of your frontal (forehead) bone that needs correction. You might first consider the injection of facial fillers to give a smoother, rounder, more natural look. An open operation to build up the same area can be done with a completelt hidden incision behind the hairline.

It looks like your hairline is higher than it could be. If you lowered it significantly, the protruding forehead would not be evident and would work in your favor.  That would be better than going to a surgeon who would shave down the bone and not really get the benefit you want. Look at out gallery of 1000 or so patients in the web reference below and you will see the impact of lowering the hairline with hair transplants on many men with large foreheads from balding.
