Do I Need Brow Bone Reduction Or Forehead Augmentation?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am a 29 year old male who has forehead bossing. I am very self conscious of my side profile and would love to find a fix to the problem. In addition to that, I have a pretty sloped forehead with a hair hairline which does not help. I have thought about doing something with my chin to take the depth of the forehead away, but I don’t know what’s right. I am a cop and train boxing often. I am concerned about options holding up long term. I would love to speak to you and learn more. I am ready to fix the issue!

A: Your forehead only looks sloped backwards because of the brow bone protrusion. Once the brow bones are setback the forehead slope looks improved. (see attached imaging) Increasing chin projection will improve the lower facial shape but will not make the brow bones look less protrusive.
