Treatment for dent in 5 year old's forehead?

June 9, 2015
Asked By:Jana9451 in Appleton, WI

My daughter was jumping on her bed (which we repeatedly tell her not too) and fell hard into the window's wood edge. That was 10 weeks ago and she now has a noticeable dent in the middle of her forehead. She was seen by her pediatrician when it happened and he was not concerned. She is only 5 so is there an acceptable age when I could consult with a plastic surgeon about her dent assuming it continues to be noticeable? What are the possible treatments and are they short-term or long-term?
