What is the solution for aging dents in forehead please?

Over the last year or so I have developed deep dents in my forehead (veins in my temples are also now prominent). I have been in poor health with an inflammatory illness in that time, and feel I have aged quickly. I am 42 years old. I have not damaged my forehead, there is no problem with the bone, and it is not genetic as no one else in my family has these dents. Is this fat loss? Could someone please suggest a permanent fix for them? They are extremely upsetting and disturb me greatly.

There are a number of considerations when addressing nasolabial folds prominence. Sometimes the amount of skin excess  is such that adding just volume is not sufficient for an adequate correction. A facelift operationwould be indicated and volume replacement may be performed at the sametime. ...

Every facelift I perform I inject fat, but not every fat transfer I perform involves lifting skin. Without a photo, I cannot tell you what I would do. But if you can avoid a face lift, you should.

Thank you for your question!A fat transfer may help, and you may also want to consider other treatments that are also effective in your case. Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra.
