Do you know what is brow bone reduction ?!         

Some plastic surgeons  also recommend brow bone shaving or brow bone reduction at the same time as brow lift and forehead lift. Shaving the brow bone in people who have dimples and the bone under their brows is prominent is a good solution along with brow lift and forehead lift that can make the eyes look more beautiful.  

Neanderthal forehead      

Some people also have a bulge in their forehead, especially around the eyebrows, which is more pronounced from the side angle, and this bulge causes the angle between the forehead and the nose to become sharper. This feature is more common in men, but some women also have this problem with the protrusion of the forehead bone!

Brow lift surgery and Brow bone Reduction simultaneously:     

Using this method, excessive bone protrusion can be “trimmed” during lift surgery.

Shaving forehead bone or bone under the brow :

Brow bone reduction or brow bone shaving surgery is usually combined with brow lift or forehead lift surgeries. In some brow or forehead lift surgeries, to reduce or smooth out the bumps on the bone, it is necessary to shaving part of the bumps on the forehead or the bumps around the eyebrows or the eyeball. Forehead bulges are more common in men and are a feature of some men.

The frontal sinus (one of the frontal sinuses) is usually under these frontal ridges, but these ridges vary between people.

In this surgery, the forehead bone is exposed through an incision in the hairline. Using special techniques and tools, the bone is shaved, corrected and lifted if necessary. This method does not cause any sinus disease.

Who is the best candidate for brow bone reduction ?

The upper part of the face has the greatest effect on the attractiveness of the face. The purpose of shaving the bone around the brows is to contour the bone above the eye so that the sunken eyes looks better. This surgery is often a combination procedure with brow lift and forehead lift and is recommended for those who have bumps or roughness in the forehead and around the eyes and their sunken eyes are more than normal.

The main difference between a man’s and a woman’s forehead is that men often have a bony protrusion around the upper edge of the eye sockets, which is called an “Neanderthal forehead” or “brow ridge“. Some women’s foreheads may also have a smaller protrusion.

In some people, a smooth area is seen between the eyebrows and between the protrusions of the two eye sockets, due to the protrusion of the bone on either side of it and under the eyebrows. Due to the protrusion of the brows, the angle between the forehead and nose is sharper in men (in profile). brow bulges are less common in women, and have a more vertical appearance on the side than the forehead. The wider angle between the nose and the forehead creates more beauty for women.

brow bone reduction surgery is performed in different ways. Which method the plastic surgeon uses depends on the protrusion of the brow bone, the thickness of the forehead sinus wall, and generally the size of the forehead sinus and the shape of the patient’s forehead.

Endoscopic brow lift / Endoscopic forehead lift

Endoscopic lift surgery is a precise and sensitive surgery that the mastery of the plastic surgeon is very important due to the difficulties of the surgery. The surgery involves making several small incisions and using an endoscope (fiber optic camera system) to access and view the area of ​​operation, which protects the nerves, arteries and blood vessels in the front of the scalp. The plastic surgeon who performs this procedure must be skilled enough to perform the surgery through a small incision.

Endotine Lift

In forehead shaving surgery, after separating the skin from the bone and shaving the bone and forehead and eyebrow lift, the skin is fixed to the bone using endotine to prevent it from receding.

Open surgery

Open surgery techniques are easier for the surgeon to perform but more difficult for the patient. Open surgery involves making long incisions, cutting nerves and muscles, and large amounts of skin to access the area of ​​operation. Open techniques are fraught with possible complications such as permanent hair loss at the surgical site, larger wounds, sensory nerve cuts, permanent numbness of the scalp, or permanent sinus damage.

under brow bone shaving (brow bone shaving)

In ocular bone incision surgery, the bone under the eyebrow is reduced. This surgery increases the vertical distance between the eye rings, opens the eyes and reduces the dimples. One of the techniques to do this is to make an incision in the upper eyelid (blepharoplasty).

What is the way that can bring deep set eyes forward?

Shaving the orbital rim is a procedure surgeons perform.

What can be done to highlight the eye and remove the dimple is to reduce the bone around it. Cutting the brow bones and Shaving the orbital rim, makes the eyes look a few millimeters forward.

Brow bone bumps are the parts that are covered by the entire brow. Their lower skin forms inward and forms the branches of the eye, and the upper margin connects to the forehead bone and forms part of the forehead.

If we look at people who have Neanderthal forehead problem from the side angle, the eyebrow part is the most prominent part of the forehead. In most cases, they are naturally formed, but several causes, such as trauma or endocrine disease, can lead to bone formation.

Because shaving the bulge or bulge of the brows is a good way to improve facial features, recesses over the eyeballs are one of the reasons for this surgery. However, because the protrusions of the eyebrows and frontal bone are thinner structures than other facial bones and the top of the forehead sinus is hollow and attached to the cranial meninges, patients should have a thorough cranial X-ray or CT scan before surgery. Plastic surgeon to accurately predict the amount and amplitude of bones can be cut and to avoid possible postoperative complications.

It is possible to lift the brows from their position in the orbital bone and to contour the bone and soften the orbital rim. When the brow ridge is very pronounced, making the forehead flat and contouring it might require removing bone and setting it back. The reason the forehead bone grows like that is that there is sinus behind it that is filled with air.
