I'm told that after a lipoma removal in the forehead I might have an indentation that looks worse. Are there fillers that can mitigate this? Does anyone have any actual experience with this?

Answer: Fillers to correct depressions in face Fillers are great way to fill in any volume related defects or shadows in the face. I have used fillers to correct surgical scars or indentation as related to removal of masses in the face or other parts of the body. If were looking for something a little more permanent and longer-term, then I would also consider using things like fat grafting. I would make sure that you go to someone very experienced in this area, as the fat has to be treated very carefully in order for the grafts to survive.If you were using fillers, I would recommend using things like Restylanel or Juvederrm as an initial one. These are reversible, should you not like the result. The only downside of using fillers, is their longevity. You may get a year or more longevity, but you may need to touch this up in the future.
