Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

You need to be carefully examined. It is really hard to see what is going on in photographs. I see shadows that I guess are perceived as dark areas. There may be other explanations apart from botox (significant weight loss, forehead atrophy in frontal fibrosing alopecia, etc). Find a knowledgeable dermatologist and bring many photographs before and after! I wish you luck!
