Can One Side of My Forehead Be Reduced?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, I was wondering if there was anything that could be done about my forehead. One side is good and the other side bulges out very far. I sent an image to better explain what I mean, the arrow is to the side I am talking about. Please let me know if there is any surgery’s or procedure that could make it symmetrical and the same as the smaller side. 

Thanks

A: I believe you are pointing to the anterior temporal region (not the side of the bony forehead) which is made up of muscle and not bone. There is not a good surgery for muscle reduction in that temporal area. Botox injections is used to treat masticatory muscle areas that are not amenable to surgical reduction.
