1ddq,What you are showing appear to be normal linear contour features of the area between the frontalis muscles of the forehead that elevate the brows and cause transverse wrinkling of the forehead.  Many patients have a thinner zone of soft tissue near the midline, particularly women, but in men the muscles tend to be more developed, and thus the contours may be more defined. As this is seen only in tangential lighting, and appears normal, I doubt it is related to trauma, and I doubt that anything should be done. I hope that this helps.
