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

February 20, 2012
Asked By:flowersandall in Grand Rapids, MI

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?
