Forehead Dent - what can be done to improve this? (Photos)

Question

I have a dent in my forehead I would like to know what it is and what I can do about it

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

This can happen for many reasons … a consultation would be necessary. Fat transfer or filler would definitely help.

Best of luck !

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

Of course it is difficult to say simply from the photos provided, but the kind of dent and its forehead location are consistent with a condition known as En Coup de Sabre, a form of linear scleroderma. You would be wise to consult with a board certified dermatologist. If this is indeed so, then I have had personal success in elevating and smoothing the dent using a cohesive, malleable, low viscosity HA filler. I only initiate treat following medical clearance with a board certified rheumatologist. Hope this helps and best of luck.
