Non Surgical Options For Forehead Reduction? I'm a young male with a relatively high forehead. I would like it to be about 0.5-1cm smaller. I could do less though. What options do I have? Not keen on hair transplantation. Anything non-surgical? Thanks in advance.

A: Can I Shorten My Forehead Without Surgery?

Dear Luke123, There are no non-surgical ways to shorten a forehead. This is because the soft tissues of the forehead are so fibrous and adherent that any other the "non-invasive" treatments will obtain little if any improvement. The surgical options are to excise the excess skin through a hairline incision which if done correctly usually hides well or to camouflage the high hairline by using hair transplants to give the look of a lower hairline. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options before proceeding. Hope this helps.

I Had Endoscopic Forehead Lift/ Browlift and Can't Move Left Brow After 6 Days; What to Do? I am very happy with the results so far, since my doctor did different procedures at the same time, but I'm a little concern with the fact that I can't move one eyebrow. I still see the swelling, but I feel no numbness, and little bruising. The side I can't move hurts more than the other and have a tingling sensation by the sutures and is more swelled than the other side. Is it too early to know if there was nerve damage? Is it true that botox in the nerve would force it to move? GOD bless!!

A: I cant move my eyebrow 6 days after a endoscopic brow lift.

Do nothing. This likely is secondary to swelling or a "stunned" nerve. Patience is key. If after several months you still have no function it is possible you have a nerve injury. Obviously without examining you I can only answer this question from a probability standpoint. Botox in the short term can help by reducing function to the opposite side and help improve the asymmetry. Good Luck!
