How can I get rid of a forehead "dent" after Botox injections (post-mini-forehead lift with fat injections)? (Photos)

September 21, 2018
Asked By:faulkhome2 in Austin, TX

Last year, I had a successful mini-forehead lift with fat injections. After 8 months I got Botox (2 sessions 3 months apart) for expression lines in forehead above the eyebrows. Last month, I developed a "dent" in the forehead's mid-section. My aesthetic nurse said the Botox may have caused muscle atrophy there. How can I get rid of the "dent"? Should I stop getting Botox, to prevent more "dents" that will damage the good results of the mini-forehead lift/fat injections I had? Thanks.
