Hi Lisa. What you show in the picture is something called a glabella crease. This crease is the intersection of two muscle groups. When you flex or contract the muscles in this area (a frown), the action causes an indentation or crease over time. So, although you look relatively young, our first suggestion would be to relax those muscles with Dysport.This should solve the problem. If it does not, we would use a soft filler (only in situations where Dysport alone does not work completely) like Restylane to fill the crease. Below you will find pictures of a patient that had this procedure in our Orange, CA office.
I agree with Dr. Kaplan that Botox is a low risk, high reward treatment that is likely to improve the contour of the forehead between the eye brows. A cyst or lipoma tends to be a round, very well circumscribed area that can be moved between the fingers. Your single photo suggests that the issue results from muscle activity in that area and Botox is the first choice to soften that muscle movement.I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

A Mid forehead lift is not a procedure used commonly today. Modern advances in endoscopic surgery have allowed the forehead to be lifted through small incisions hidden behind the hairline. The Mid forehead lift incisions have the potential to leave visible scars.
Before undergoing surgery, each person should decide whether a particular feature of their face or body bothers them enough to do something about it. The decision to undergo surgery should not be taken lightly. Nevertheless, when properly executed, plastic surgery can be an important adjunct...
Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has their own guidelines and you should discuss this with them first. I have my esthetician wash all brow lift patients hair the day after surgery and I advise patients that they may shower and wash their hair daily if they want. I have never seen any...
