Is it possible to get rid off the hole like indentation on my forehead? (Photo)

Question

I have this hole indentation from birth on my forehead between the eyebrows (genetic I guess, my dad has it raised), and I would like to know if it is possible get rid off it completely through plastic surgery or by any other means. Wondering if any surgery would make it look as if it was never there. Also, if possible please let me know the cost of the surgery. I just cannot pose for any closeup photo, as the entire photo gets dominated by this hole. Please help me. Picture attached. Thank you.

In general, chicken pox scars do not fill as well as depressed acne scars. An examination would be necessary to determine your candidacy. In our practice, we prefer to use Silikon-1000 for suitable depressed scars. Silikon-1000 is an off-label filler for permanent results.Hope this helps you.Dr. Joseph

It does not look very deep but hard to tell in a picture.  It does appear to be darker than the rest of the skin which may be what you notice.  You could try some laser or IPL first to lighten the skin, and then put some filler in underneath it to elevate the hole.  As it is small, you could also remove it surgically.  This would leave you with a small linear scar.

Michelle Copeland, MD, DMD · Answer

Although it is difficult to say without an in person
examination, it is possible that you may benefit  from topical creams to help lighten the discoloration as well as non-ablative skin
treatments.  Injectable filler  such as Juvederm, can often be helpful
to fill in depressions from scars. I suggest you schedule a consultation with
a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to see what options fit your
goals and budget.
