Can You Make My Head More Oval Shaped?

Q: Dr. Eppley, my head is bigger and wider than it looks  in a picture and it is square. I want it to be oval. Is it possible to make a skull oval and reduce the head width?

A:Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures. If I am interpreting your objective of making the frontal view of the head shaped less square and more oval I have attached a diagram of what I think you want to accomplish. The square shape of the head is largely controlled by the bony temporal line and the upper temporal muscle. These can certainly be reduced to decrease the squareness of the head shape and make it more oval.
