Why do I have a dent in my Forehead? (photos)

January 24, 2022
Asked By:Ashstar82 in Indianapolis, Indiana

I started noticing a dent in my forehead above my right eye. This started approximately 2 years ago. It's almost like I pressed my thumb into my forehead and the mark never left. It was annoying at first but seems to be getting worse. I had a little botox injected awhile back, hoping it would help. I feel it's more prominent now and not sure if it's serious or just a random cosmetic issue. Please I am open to any suggestions.

“Elvis Muscle” snarl, pinches one side only. Issue for many years and have had 3 rhinoplasties. Can it be fixed? (photos)
Jason Emer, MD says:

It's difficult to say without a formal evaluation. Botox can be injected into these areas to create a softer look. The botox will essentially relax the muscles creating the appearance of atrophic muscles. The results will last up to 3-4 months hence you will have to re-inject roughly 3x per year...

Rosa B. Lipin, MD says:

Thank you for your pictures and question. It takes at least 14 days for neuromodulators to work-- to be honest, sometimes I still see changes until week 3. It is not uncommon for some muscles, or even one side of your face, to activate before the others. My advice would be to give it more time,...
