Can My Frontal Bossing Be Fixed?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  Can my frontal bossing be fixed?

A:Your frontal bossing reduction poses two challenges: 1) how much frontal bone can be safely reduced and 2) where would the incision be placed to do so that would be aesthetically acceptable. #1 requires a CT scan to measure the thickness of the frontal bone from which then I could show you on your pictures what the reduction would likely create. (full or incomplete reduction) To have adequate access to do the procedure, if an adequate result can be obtained, is a challenge in a shaved or bald male. I am mot sure there is a truly great place for the incision but a forehead wrinkle is probably the safest aesthetic choice.
