Forehead botox or filler for vertical depression - advice? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case filler would be your best option however as you say it is a risky area. You would want to see a very experienced clinician to inject this area. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, and thank you for providing images along with your question. While Botox will do a good job at smoothing out lines, dermal fillers may be a better choice for filling in dents and depressions. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be injected into areas of the forehead which require additional volume. If you are using fillers to address lines and wrinkles, your surgeon will inject them directly into the wrinkle to plump up the skin. For forehead contouring, fillers will be injected at marked areas to achieve your desired shape. Botox may be injected as well to enhance and prolong your overall results. Injectables to the forehead area require skill and experience. This is why I highly recommend only seeking treatments from a reputable experienced injector who knows how much product to use and where to precisely inject it to safely achieve the most natural-looking results.
