Can I Have Both Posterior and Anterior Temporal Reductions Done At The Same Time?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am potentially interested in posterior temporal reduction surgery because I feel that my head is too large. I also feel that I could benefit from anterior temporal reduction surgery because the area from the side of my eye to my hairline is also a bit too large. I attached a photo that shows what I am talking about.

A: Thank you for your inquiry regarding temporal reduction surgery. To better understand such head narrowing surgery I refer you to the following link which explains the important difference between posterior and anterior temporal reduction surgery:
