Can knots on a forehead be smoothed out or "fixed"? (Photo)

TPIIIJul 22, 2015
So I have 2 knots on my forehead about a cm to the left and right of the center of my forehead. I look at younger pictures and I don't see them. And my mother says she doesn't recall them being there. I have hit my head once in the center very head and a large knot formed but I remember it completely going away. (They are hardly noticeable when looking straight on so I took aerial pictures as well)

Your hairline can be lowered ,reducing the height of your forehead, and reshaping your hairline with the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision technique. This approach will give you a lower hairline with normal uniform thickness of the hair.

It's hard to give you advice without seeing your photos.  There are different ways to raise the eyebrows.  Botox will work for a temporary lift.  Browlifts are another option, but you would need to be evaluated since you are in your early 20's.

Don't recommend surgery. Muscle attenuators (botox, Dysport, xeomin ) along with fillers (restylane , perlane, Juvederm) are your best options for now.

Hi Noah, I'd suggest holding off on doing anything permanent at this point.  Your hairline may change over the next number of years such that any procedures done now may become less desirable later on.  Hope this helps you.

Thank you for the good question. You are correct that migraine sufferers can find some relief with Botox injections. These have to be repeated or the migraines return. It does seem that some patients who have migraine headaches do experience relief with brow lifts. It is not clear how often this...

Generally speaking, you will find that it is really not possible with an endoscopic approach to "overdo" your lift.  I really think what you are seeing is likely due to swelling as well as effects from your local anesthetic.  Give it time and keep talking with your surgeon. ...
