How Can I Do A Small Amount of Brow Bone Reduction Reversal?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m a 30 year old trans woman that underwent facial feminization surgery earlier this year. The surgery was a success, and I look beautiful and certainly got what I asked for. However, I’ve since realized that I wasn’t quite specific in my instructions with my surgeon about the level of reduction I was seeking in my orbits vs the sinus bone/center of the forehead. While I wanted a flat/round center of the forehead, I’ve now come to recognize that I would still like some slight orbit definition (but certainly reduced from where I once was). However, in surgery they were totally smoothed out.

Is there a way to restore some minor definition to the orbital bones with a custom implant or bone paste?

A: It is not rare to see a brow bone reduction patient vis bone flap setback technique to end up being flatter than they desire. A custom brow bone implant design can be made to do any amount of partial brow bone restoration.
