What can be done to eliminate forehead veins & indentations created from them? Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie etc have these forehead veins. They are so ugly & have created indentations in my forehead, which do not go away with just Botox. First- What procedures will eliminate these veins? Second- Interested in doing forehead lowering for my high square forehead, will this help reduce the indentations & what else can be done to round out the shape of my overly square & masculine forehead?
