I have a horizontal Glabellar crease between my eyes above the bridge of my nose. I've had it my whole life and feel it's partly due to the fact I have a slight caveman forehead. I'm not interested in "Temporary" non surgical procedures such as Botox, Fillers, Laser. I'm more interested in longterm results through surgical procedures. I talked to one Plastic Surgeon about a "Brow Lift" but he only wanted to give me Botox. He stated the results I'm looking for wouldn't happen through a Brow lift.
Answer: Horizontal crease The only surgical option that may give you permanent results that I have seen work involves resection of the corregator and procerus muscles through an upper blepharoplasty incision. It is a difficult operation with significant bruising and swelling and as such is not performed by many surgeons. Check in your area to find someone with experience with this technique. Best of luck.

Answer: How to address the horizontal crease on top of my nose between the eyebrows. Relaxing the muscles in the area will definitely soften the crease but augmenting this area would probably be a more permanent solution. You have some options: Radiesse works well in that area and can be long lasting. This is probably the easiest option, but it needs to be done by an expert preferably with a blunt cannula. Fat grafting. should work as well but again same precautions apply here. Cartilage grafting would require a rhinoplasty approach and it would be more complicated. Your next and probably best option is an endoscopic muscle resection in the area and placement of a fat graft or cartilage graft directly in the crease. Good luck.

Answer: I have a horizontal glabellar crease between my eyes. What procedure can correct this and give me permanent results? Hello jay.90,Thanks for your question.As you continue to lose bone as you age, that crease will eventually come back even if surgically corrected. This means that there is no such thing as a permanent improvement or correction. The closest thing you can have done is a radix augmentation with an implant or with your own cartilage. I prefer to use Medpor (ePTFE) implants or ear cartilage as my 2 first choices.The radix is the area of transition from the brow to the top of the nose, and it will crease in time for everyone. When you have more projection to your forehead, it can happen in young people like you also.This is a procedure that can be done in the office under local anesthesia using either an incision in the radix area, or via an incision inside the nose.Another secondary option would be to lift your brows up to tighten that skin and reduce the muscle function in the area that furrows your eyebrows. This is a bigger undertaking and is usually done under general anesthesia in a surgery center.We would be happy to see you at our office in Cherry Creek for a consultation.Take care,Dr. Shah
