I have previously explained a surgery that shaves down the bone when the brow bone appears prominent.

During consultations, some people referred to the brow bone,
while others referred to the eye hole bone.
The brow bone includes the outer side of the eyebrow as well,
and in some cases, the area outside the eyebrow is called the eye hole bone.

The eye hole bone, which is part of the brow bone
However, “eye hole bone” is not a medical term.
The upper, outer, and lower edges of the eye are called the orbital rim.
The area called the eye hole bone can be described as the superolateral part of the orbital rim.
The term superolateral orbital rim would be appropriate.
In conclusion, you can think of the eye hole bone as part of the brow bone.
A man visited us because he wanted to address the prominent appearance of his brow bone.

The area of concern is marked with a purple arrow.

He said he had been stressed since childhood because of the developed brow bone.
To accurately examine the shape of the brow bone, we took a 3D CT scan.
During the consultation, we explain everything together with the CT images taken.

The arrow-marked area in purple is the part that was reduced through brow bone reduction.
The thickness of the bone covering the frontal sinus was sufficient,
and the reduction was completed safely within the appropriate range.
Here are the CT scans before and after surgery.

The changed areas are marked with purple arrows on the preoperative CT,
and with light green arrows on the postoperative CT.

One month after surgery.

It can be seen that the step-off area has become smoother.
I remember this case because he was thankful and said that a long-standing concern since childhood had been resolved. ^-^
For those who are bothered by the prominence of the brow bone, including the eye hole bone,
I recommend visiting for an evaluation.
