Botox or Dysport plus fillers will probably work best

Robert F. Gray, MD answers: Tissue fillers for the forehead and bridge of nose?

Can Restylane or Juviderm be injected in areas like the bridge of the nose and forehead lines?

These areas do not have much fat or tissue underneath. I have a line across the bridge of my nose and I want to get ride of it. Dot Co2 treatments have not been able to erase it. I have had success with Restylane in lifing the tired sagging lines underneath my eyes but my practitioner said she did not feel comfortable injecting in problem areas like the forehead and bridge of the nose.

Can this be done?

As a facial plastic surgeon I often see people with these concerns. These deep lines are caused mainly by muscle contraction which can cause indentations and deep lines in the skin. That is why Botox or Dysport  is very important in this treatment.  If the line is so deep that Botox/Dysport is only partially treating the concern then a filler can be used. I would prefer to use the filler in the deep nasal crease and laser resurfacing in the horizontal forehead lines although I could just do filler in the glabellar lines between the eyebrows.
