Could a filler help the large horizontal dent in my forehead? (Photos)

From the photos, it would appear that the "dent" that disturbs you is from an underlying, skull-related, bony issue. However, the overlying tissue can certainly be filled by the use of a volumizing filler in order to elevate and smooth this region. The fine horizontal wrinkles that are forming there are a very early stage of the typical age-related, dynamic "worry lines" that disturb most people with their appearance in the mid-thirties to forties (or even sometimes much younger). These lines can be easily addressed with a neuromodulator, such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. The added benefit of doing so is that filler results typically last considerably longer when Botox is combined with them, as the reduction in surrounding movement slows the natural metabolic breakdown of the filler product. Injecting the forehead is an advanced injection technique that should not be left to the hands of novice injectors accustomed only to injecting simple laugh lines. Be sure that you consult a board certified aesthetic physician. Best of luck and Happy New Year.. 

Based on your photos fat grafting as well as filler injections with Botox added to the mix would help. The forehead area is tricky when it comes to filler or fat injections so see a qualified and experienced Dr . 

Thank you for your question!
Fillers can definitely help to fill the area of shadowing you are referring to in your forehead. Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a type of sugar you already have in your skin. This area is a delicate area to inject because of he vessels that are present in the forehead and the risk of injecting in a vessel, which can be dangerous. I highly recommend that you see a experienced injector for this procedure. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question! The area of shadowing that you’re describing is due to your bone’s natural contour. Is it also normal to have volume loss in this area, which is treatable with dermal filler. Dermal filler is composed of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, something your body already produces. Filler in this area can improve shadowing and restore volume. It’s important to see an experienced injector for this treatment since there are significant arteries in this area. Treating the area in combination with a neuromodulator (like Botox) will help the treatment last longer since neuromodulators relax muscle and can help slow your body’s metabolism of the filler. Good luck on your aesthetic journey!

Fillers can certainly be used in this area but are associated with a higher risk of complications due to the vessels present in the forehead. I like to start filling forehead volume defects with PDO threads which stimulate you body's own collagen. If that fails to correct, then fillers can be used cautiously recognizing the increased risk of adverse events. Best of luck.

loss of volume in the forehead as we age can unmask underlying bony contours - this happens in the midface as well. filler works well here, but should be done by an injector with experience as there are some large vessels in the area. i also tell patients to expect a head ache for a few days. filling will re-contour the forehead and elevate the brows as well
good luck!
 

Yes, it would be reasonable to use fillers to contour your forehead. Injecting fat to the area is also an option. Botox may be useful in combination with fillers to prevent dynamic movement in the area, making the treatment last longer. 

Injection of a hyaluronic acid filler like Restylane or Juvederm can 'fill' the space to improve forehead contour.  It should only be done by a board certified core cosmetic physician (dermatology, plastics, facial plastics, oculoplastics) who understands the anatomy and how to inject most safely. The forehead is not an area for a beginner injector and it is 'off label' meaning not one of the FDA approved indications.  So physicians are allowed to treat this area but the filler companies cannot teach it which limits training for non-core cosmetic physicians and non-physicians.  Without seeing your forehead in motion it is impossible to say definitively, but it is likely that you would also benefit from botulinum toxin (Botox Cosmetic, Xeomin or Dysport) in this area to reduce the formation of those extra lines you've started seeing within that area.I hope this answer was helpful.  Best wishes.

I would recommend the use of a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane or Juvederm. This can be used to smooth the transition between the periocular /glabella muscles and the frontal is muscle. Botox would help the fine lines and can be considered as a way to prevent the formation of deeper lines in the future. I think the filler will be a great choice. Best of luck!

The answer is: Absolutely!  Fillers work excellently in this area.  I prefer using a product such as Restylane Defyne, but many other choices could work well.  Females should have a smooth curve to the forehead, and this indentation interrupts that smooth curve.  Fillers will restore that curve.
