Forehead lines and treatment other than Botox

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Botox alternative for forehead line?

I have a small forehead and deepset eyes. I have a very prominent and deep line on my forehead and would like to make it disappear. But I am concerned about Botox given my forehead is small and my eyes are already deepset.

I have gone for consultations and was told to do Botox and Restylane but again am hesitant. Would Restylane or Juvederm alone be useful? Your overall thoughts?

I would generally not encourage you to use fillers for the forehead lines.

Your options are limited.

Surgical procedures include the use of various forehead lifts to avoid or worsening the appearance of the eyes. This may help to give you an eye opening appearance.

Occasionally the forehead lines are in reaction to sagging skin of the upper eyelids or brow. In this case, treatment of the eyelids may result in softening of the forehead lines.

Seek the evaluatiuon of an opthalmologist to determine if the latter situation is your condition.
