In the age of selfies, video calls, and high-def everything, the face you present to the world matters more than ever. For some, that means addressing a feature that’s as ancient as early humans themselves—the so-called “Neanderthal brow.” At Mabrie Facial Institute, we believe modern problems deserve modern solutions. That’s why we offer non surgical brow bone reshaping with dermal fillers—a precise, effective, and personalized treatment that doesn’t require surgery or a lot of downtime.
Whether you’ve always noticed your prominent brow ridge or it has become more pronounced with age, our team is here to help you contour your way to a smoother, more harmonious profile.
What Is a Concave Forehead or “Neanderthal Brow”?
A “Neanderthal brow” refers to a pronounced brow ridge—also known as frontal bossing—that creates a shadowed or heavy appearance above the eyes. This feature is more common in some individuals due to genetics, and its name nods to the robust facial structure of early humans like Neanderthals.
In modern aesthetics, a smoother transition between the brow and forehead is often preferred, particularly for those seeking a more youthful, balanced appearance. If your brow bone protrusion draws attention away from your other features, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options.
Why Do You Have a Concave Forehead?
Blame evolution—or at least your DNA. Genetics are the primary reason some people develop a more prominent brow ridge, and while it’s more commonly seen in men, women can also experience it. Over time, changes in skin elasticity and facial volume can make the ridge appear even more pronounced.
In today’s aesthetic landscape, smooth and symmetrical contours are typically associated with attractiveness. It’s not surprising, then, that more individuals are seeking ways to soften their brow area without surgery.
Why Do Some People Choose To Treat It?
For many, it comes down to confidence. A strong brow ridge can cast shadows on the upper face, creating a tired, stern, or aged appearance. Smoothing this feature can subtly brighten and balance the face—often with a profound impact on one’s self-image.
The growing popularity of non surgical cosmetic treatments has made it easier than ever to address this concern with minimal downtime. Patients today want results that are natural-looking, reversible, and customized—and dermal fillers check all the boxes.
How MFI Uses Dermal Fillers for Brow Contouring
At MFI, dermal fillers aren’t just injectables—they’re instruments of artistry and precision. Our injectors use hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, to create a softer transition between the supraorbital ridge and the upper forehead.
Here’s how it works:
- Consultation & Facial Assessment: Every face is unique. We begin with a thorough evaluation to evaluate your anatomy and discuss your goals.
- Precision Injections: Our injectors pre-mark treatment areas to avoid high-risk zones and stay within safe anatomical boundaries. Using a small needle, we place filler directly on the bone in small increments, gradually building volume and shape across two or more sessions.
- Follow-Up Care: We recommend maintenance treatments or “touch ups” every 9 to 12 months to maintain your results indefinitely.
With our deep understanding of facial anatomy, commitment to safety, and eye for aesthetic detail, brow contouring at MFI is more than a treatment—it’s a transformation.
Why Choose Fillers Over Surgery?
While brow bone reduction surgery exists, it comes with general anesthesia, longer recovery, and higher costs. In contrast, dermal fillers for brow ridge contouring offer:
- Minimally invasive treatment
- Immediate results with little to no downtime
- Adjustable and reversible outcomes
- Precision placement with less risk
For many patients, fillers provide the flexibility to enhance their look without making a permanent change.
What To Expect After Treatment
Following your session, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Here’s what else to expect:
- Visible improvement immediately, with full results after your second treatment
- A second appointment in about a month to refine and perfect your results
- Results that last at least 9 to 12 months
- A personalized follow-up plan to maintain and build on your results
We have found that many of our patients retain up to 80 percent of their original results after a full year. When you come in for your maintenance treatment in 9 to 12 months, you should need only a fraction of the original amount of filler, making maintenance much more affordable than the initial treatment.
Treatments That Complement Brow Contouring
Brow filler is often just one piece of a bigger picture. That’s why we recommend pairing it with our signature packages:
- Illumination 360° Full Face: A comprehensive, customized package that enhances every aspect of your face.
- BOTOX® for Forehead & Brow Package: Smooth dynamic wrinkles and enhance brows for a polished, refreshed look.
Together, these treatments help create natural-looking balance and brightness throughout the face.
