Will Forehead Reduction Make It Flatter?

Q: Dr. Eppley My main concern is that my forehead sticks outward, even though the rest of my head size is normal. Will the surgery make it flatter and more proportionate to my face?

A:With bony forehead reduction the objective is to make it less protrusive and in better proportion to the rest of your face and head. How successful that it will be depends on the thickness of the forehead bone. This requires a 3D skull scan to measure the thickness of the bone to determine if a safe and effective bone reduction can be done.
