Can forehead botox cause an indentation on the hairline? (Photo)

I have been getting botox on my forehead for wrinkles for over 10 years. I have noticed an indentation of my forehead at the hairline . Does this reflect poor placement of botox on my forehead or can this happen with any injector, even if they are very skilled? I get botox less frequently, around every 7-8 months. Should I cut down on the frequency?

Hi there, Based on your description, it doesn’t necessarily mean the product itself was the issue. If the forehead responded well but the glabellar (“11”) lines showed little improvement—even after a touch-up—there are several possibilities. The glabellar complex is one of the strongest...

Yes, probably. Looking at your photo, what stands out to me is that you appear to have a fairly active platysma muscle and you've recently lost 30 pounds. That's a combination I see fairly often. Many patients notice these bands become more visible after weight loss because the muscle was always...

What you’re describing is uncommon, especially given how long it has persisted, but it does happen that a localized change in the forehead can remain after a neuromodulator treatment—even though Botox itself typically doesn’t create true “lumps” or scar tissue. A few important points stand out...

This is a really important question, and I understand why it can feel concerning when you see online discussions about “Botox injury.” To put it into perspective, Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) has been used in medicine and aesthetics for decades, and when it is properly injected in appropriate dos...
