Brow bone reduction surgery is a common forehead reshaping procedure in my practice and is done for three specific indications. Men that have very prominent ‘Neanderthal’ brow bones seek it to make their facial appearance less strong. Male to female patients have it done to create a gender appearance transition. Lastly patients that have a Read More…
Background: While men have greater brow bone prominences than women, there are cases where the brow bones do overgrow. When they do so the brow bone appear too prominent (Neanderthal-like), the forehead appears retroclined and one’s appearance is harsh or angry looking. While there are different degrees of brow bone hypertrophy in men, ultimately all Read More…
Background: Brow bone reduction is done in both men and women. However the techniques may be different based on the amount of brow bone reduction required. In my experience most men that consider and undergo reduction of their brow bone prominences do so because they are extremely large and have a dramatic impact on the Read More…
Brow bone reduction is typically associated with two types of patients which are equally split in numbers in my experience.

Brow bone reduction is a procedure that is done in both men and women to reshape their forehead. Men undergo the procedure to reduce a very prominent brow bone protrusion to eliminate a ‘Neanderthal’ appearance. Transgender male to females have the procedure to feminize the forehead and eliminate any semblance of a brow bone break. Read More…
Background: The forehead occupies one-third of the face’s surface area. It also has a lot of animation effects from changes in eyebrow position and the creation of various horizontal and vertical wrinkle lines. But short of motion the shape of the forehead and the surrounding hair locations also impact the impression of one’s facial appearance. Read More…
Brow bone reduction alters the amount of forward projection of the lower third of the forehead. When it is a craniofacial bone reduction procedure it is unique because of the underlying frontal sinus. This is true for at least the inner half of the brow bones whose shape is controlled by the size of the Read More…
The outer half or tail of the brow bone can be reduced through an upper eyelid incision. This is useful in numerous clinical conditions where only the outer half of the brow bone needs to be changed such as in facial asymmetry (vertical brow bone elevation ) and in some types of facial feminization surgery.
