I've been told by other people it's not noticeable but it's all I see when I look in the mirror or take a picture. I can feel the depression in my forehead right in the middle about the size of my thumb. I'm early 20's, have had no serious accidents or injuries, and relatively healthy. I started noticing it a couple years ago, but it's possible I've had it for most of my life. What causes this dent in my forehead and how can I fix it?

Answer: Forehead contour One thing to consider that no one has mentioned yet is to start with botox. I don't have the advantage of seeing you in person of course, but the "dent" is just above two areas of fullness which as one doctor pointed out could be due to prominence of the bones (supraorbital ridges). However, I have also seen many cases where this is due to muscle hypertrophy and specifically - the corrugator mucles. Using botox in these muscles will flatten them, especially with repeat use.

Answer: Facial contour deficits can easily be managed with fillers or fat grafting, assuming that the adjacent areas are acceptable to you. If you aren't sure about whether you will like the fuller look, then go with fillers as they eventually go away whereas the fat grafting could be permanent.
