How can I remove excess fat above my eyebrows/in my forehead? (Photo)

Question

I've had this fat above my eyebrows toward the lower middle of my forehead since high school days, and it has always made me look older than my age, especially now that I'm 28 years old. I'm skinny--my weight ranges between 94 to 103 lbs since high school--so I don't understand why there would be fat there. Can someone tell me how to get rid of it please?

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon because you seem to be an ideal candidate for fillers.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your question.  Looking at your photos, it appears that the area you circled may be the muscles that create the frown lines. Anatomically these extend into the area you have highlighted. If when you frown the full area moves than this is the case.
If it is the muscle, they can be trimmed through an endoscopic brow lift incision. Or you can try Botox to weaken the muslces so that they over time will get smaller.
Ideally a full examination by an oculoplastic surgeon would be your best option.

Removal of “fat” above eyebrows? This is NOT fat but bone of your supraorbital rim. This can be removed with an Incision behind your hairline or at the hairline without leaving a visible scar using a procedure we developed called the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Incision. Your hairline can be raised or lowered if needed. See a very experienced surgeon who does many of these with natural results.

Have you been examined by  physician who said this fullness above your brows is fat because it is most likely he contour of the underlying bone which can be filed down in most patients.

though there might be some muscular hypertrophy which might respond to botox, these are your  frontal sinuses   which are more prominent in men than in women. They can be reduced somewhat.
