Can temporal lines on the forehead be reduced?

Question

If you have very noticeable temporal lines on the forehead can they be reduced by bone shaving or by forehead contouring? Is this possible? I’m a biological female and I have prominent temporal lines that I’m very insecure of. I know that the brow bone can be shaved and the orbital rim, so can the temporal lines be reduced? Thank you!

Neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau) and soft tissue fillers like Belotero can improve the appearance of the forehead by reducing lines, wrinkles and folds. Deeper lines and wrinkles need a combination approach with Botox, fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello @hannahrey13 thank you for your question. In cases related to expression lines (I mean if you are talking about expression lines), it can usually be improved by evaluating the area and suggesting either surgical or non-surgical treatment according to the possibilities of improvement and the evaluation by the specialist. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
