Treatment Overview
Brow Bone Reduction is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping prominent or protruding brow ridges to create a smoother, more feminine or aesthetically balanced forehead contour. This procedure is particularly popular among patients seeking a softer facial appearance or correcting masculine-looking brow bone structure.
In Korea, surgeons use advanced precision techniques and 3D imaging to ensure natural results while minimizing visible scarring. Brow bone reduction is often combined with forehead contouring, hairline lowering, or brow lifts for a fully harmonious upper-face profile.
