A prominent brow ridge can give the face a more masculine or heavy appearance. Brow Bone Reduction Surgery — also known as Forehead Contouring or Frontal Bossing Reduction — refines the upper facial profile, softening the appearance and enhancing overall harmony.
At Dr. Jaray Cosmetic Surgery in Bangkok, Dr. Jaray Krainam, MD, a highly skilled aesthetic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, performs this delicate procedure using precise techniques to reshape the frontal bone and forehead contour, resulting in a naturally balanced and refined look.
✅ Overview of Brow Bone Reduction Surgery
Brow Bone Reduction involves contouring or shaving down the frontal bone (and sometimes reconstructing the frontal sinus wall) to reduce excessive projection of the brow ridge. This procedure is popular among both men and women seeking a smoother forehead contour and is especially common in facial feminization surgery (FFS) for transgender women.
Ideal candidates:
- Individuals with a pronounced brow ridge or heavy upper facial contour
- Patients seeking a softer, more youthful, or feminine appearance
- Those considering facial harmonization or gender-affirming surgery
Benefits:
- Smoother forehead contour
- Balanced facial proportions
- Enhanced feminine or refined aesthetic
- Permanent improvement in facial harmony
✅ Preparation Before Surgery
Before the operation, Dr. Jaray conducts a comprehensive facial analysis and imaging to evaluate bone thickness, sinus position, and the degree of reduction required.
Patients will:
- Undergo CT or X-ray imaging if necessary
- Review their medical history and medications
- Stop smoking and certain medications (e.g., aspirin) before surgery
- Receive clear pre-operative fasting and hygiene instructions
✅ Surgical Procedure
⏱ Duration: 2 – 3 hours
💉 Anesthesia: General anesthesia
Surgical steps:
- A discreet incision is made along or behind the hairline.
- The forehead skin and soft tissue are gently elevated.
- The prominent brow bone is carefully contoured or reduced.
- In some cases, the frontal sinus wall is removed, reshaped, and replaced for optimal smoothness.
- The incision is closed meticulously to minimize scarring.
Dr. Jaray applies advanced surgical precision to achieve symmetry, proportion, and a natural contour that complements the rest of the face.
✅ Post-Operative Care
- Mild swelling or bruising is expected around the forehead and eyes for 7–10 days.
- Keep the head elevated and apply cold compresses as advised.
- Stitches are usually removed within 7–10 days.
- Return to normal activities within 2 weeks (avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks).
- Final contour becomes apparent as swelling gradually subsides.
Follow-up visits at Dr. Jaray Cosmetic Surgery ensure proper healing and refinement.
