How would you treat indents on forehead caused by thickening and furrowing? (Photo)

July 9, 2024
Asked By:Calnes710 in Boca Raton, FL

I posted on here before thinking what I had was fat loss, but I finally found out the changes I'm seeing are from something called pachydermoperiostosis. Since it's furrowing and skin thickening that is going on, how could this be treated by a plastic surgeon? Would it still be fat grafting even though it's skin thickening? I wrote a whole blog about getting diagnosed for anyone who is curious: https://youmemindbody.com/disease-illness/it-began-with-a-forehead-indentation
