What Options do I Have for Filling Forehead Dent, Filler, Fat Graft, etc? (photo)

flowersandallFeb 20, 2012

I've had a this forehead dent since I was four, when I hit my head on something hard. It has always bothered me. I'm thinking it's compressed layers of my skin or necrosis of fat with underlying scar tissue. How would I be able to fix this? Fat graft? Juvederm? Botox?

Hi there- Without seeing you for a formal examination, it would be very difficult to say whether what you want is possible, or what your options would be. On the other hand, please know that fat grafting for improvement in the shape of the waist, abdomen, back, buttocks, and thighs has...

Fat transfer to any part of the body takes some time to even out and have the immediate swelling go down.  This is measured in weeks or months and most fat transfer surgeons would not consider revising the procedure prior to the 6 month mark.  Try to to be patient and follow up as...
