Does gaining fat increase the size of your forehead?

Question

as in my hairline is receding and at the same time i dont have any hair loss , when i raise my eyebrows, my hairline lowers and my forehead decreases, what is the reason?

Jeffrey Jumaily, MD · Answer

Gaining weight does not change your forehead size. The only thing that changes your forehead size is hair loss or drooping brows with aging. When you raise your eyebrows, the muscle contracts and shrinks the forehead a little bit. Best wishes.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Raising the eyebrows activates the frontalis muscle which sit behind your forehead and lifts your eyebrows, narrowing the forehead. Gaining weight will not impact your forehead
