Subcision or filler for forehead dips? (Photos)

Question

I have had what I thought were concave forehead dips but I've done a bit of research now and realize I may need either filler or subcision work done to even out the surface. I am not sure where to start. The raised bumps appear more in certain lighting. I have had a few falls when I was younger, I am going on 30 now and just want these gone. What do you recommend as my first step?

Radiesse is an FDA-Approved filler that we use very frequently in our office to sculpt the contours of the face. Since we are a national center of excellence for filler reversal, we also encounter patients from other doctors' offices who wish to have Radiesse fillers removed for one reason or another. In our office, we employ a directed technique to visualize the filler material, if possible on ultrasound, and then use non-surgical methods to dissolve the filler or granuloma tissue using intralesional injections. There are many methods using a combination of enzymes, intralesional modulators of scar tissue, and Kenalog to help reduce volume and remaining filler. These techniques require meticulous attention to detail and can be performed at intervals of two to three weeks to achieve longterm effect.
