How Can My Wide Forehead and Skull Be Reduced and Look More Feminine?

Q: Dr. Eppley, How can my wide forehead and skull be reduced?

A:Thank you for sending your pictures. In assessing them it is important to recognize that the enlarged temporal muscles contribute as much if not more and that of the wider skull forehead bone. Thus treating both bone and muscle is extremely important for a satisfactory reduction. In fact that concept is so important that if you reduce the skull bone without reducing the muscle it would look even worse.

While it remains to be seen how much bone reduction your skull thickness will permit the enlarged temporal muscle has no such limits and will provide a greater reduction then that of the bone. Attached is some imaging of what I think in the best case scenario can be achieved.
