Is It Safe To Do Bony Forehead Reduction and Frontal Hairline Advancemcent At The Same Time?

Q: Dr. Eppley, is it risky or dangerous to do forehead reduction and hairline advancement at once? And you can’t do the forehead flatter than you showed me in the imaging?

A: It is common to do both forehead bone reduction and hairline advancement at the same time.

In imaging I try to show what I think is a certain amount of foreherad bone reduction …as that should be the trigger for surgery. Whether more may occur can not be known beforehand.
