Too much forehead skin - how can this be treated? (Photo)

Hello, hope you are well. There is a straightforward procedure for your situation called a forehead reduction. However, this is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision along the hairline. The only way to remove skin non-surgically is with a procedure called Ellacor. This is micro-coring of the skin to tighten and lift, but it is not as powerful as surgery.

Best,

Hello, Your forehead height is long, and your forehead muscles are active. As you age, the folding of the skin caused by muscle movement becomes more noticeable. The best solution for this is a forehead reduction surgery. Botox treatments can relax the muscles, but this will also make your forehead appear longer. Unfortunately, there is no effective non-surgical solution

Hello and thank you for your question! There are two main surgical procedures in this region - hairline lowering surgery and brow lifts! I like to separate these into two questions. Do you want your resting eyebrow elevated and do you want your resting hairline to be lowered? If you want the brows to be elevated at rest, then you should consider a browlift. If you want the hairline to be lower at rest, then you should consider hairline lowering surgery. You can also have both of these procedures if you wish for both the hairline to be lowered and for your brows to be elevated. However, your question is about non-surgical solutions and that is where botox comes in. Consider the dynamic function of your forehead or how much it moves and wrinkles when you raise your brows. Botox will paralyze the frontalis muscle (muscle that raises your eyebrows) and will help with your forehead wrinkles when you are elevating your brow. Another use for botox is for a "chemical browlift" which is putting a small amount of botox under your eyebrow to help raise it slightly. I think this botox combination would be great for you to try with minimal risks. Unfortunately, there is no non-surgical way to remove forehead skin. I would find a reputable med spa or plastic surgeon in your area for this procedure. I hope this helps and good luck deciding!
