Brow Bone Reduction in Bellevue, WA
Brow bone reduction in Bellevue softens a prominent forehead ridge — a key facial feminization procedure.
Quick answer
Brow bone (forehead) reduction reshapes a prominent brow ridge to create a smoother, softer forehead contour. It is one of the most impactful facial feminization procedures and draws directly on Dr. Day’s craniofacial bone expertise.
A pronounced brow ridge is one of the strongest masculine facial features. Reducing and reshaping the frontal bone — often including setback of the frontal sinus wall — dramatically softens the upper face. This is precise craniofacial bone work, exactly the kind of surgery Dr. Day’s fellowship trained him to perform.
Brow bone reduction is frequently combined with forehead reduction (hairline advancement) and a brow lift as part of a facial feminization plan.
