I had botox in my corrugator muscles. After great results from that, I noticed this vertical ridge in the center of my forehead was still there but looked worse. Maybe because everything else smoothed out except for that ridge. When I try to frown it seems the muscles on either side of the ridge cause it to look deeper. Is it my frontalis muscle that needs botox to smooth it out? Will filling it with a Hyaluronic acid filler be the best bet? My injector doesn't want to do anything about it.

Answer: Vertical ridge in the center of my forehead -- Botox and filler The depression seems to worsen with movement suggesting that more Botox may be needed in the area surrounding this depression. Since it is also present at rest, a small amount of filler could be placed to help volumize and lift this area to the level of the surrounding tissue. Filler injection in this area should only be performed by "core" cosmetic injectable physicians (facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, or occuloplastic surgeons). This is because we all have a keen understanding of facial anatomy and the effects of injecting Botox/ Xeomin/ Dysport and fillers in different regions of the face. Be sure you are seeing one of us, and I wish you well!
