I am 25 and have a noticeable forehead depression (that appeared suddenly) that makes me look older than I am and sunken (especially in certain light and angles) I wanted to treat this depression with fillers but I heard that many complications can arise from injecting fillers in the forehead area including blindness...Will botox treat my problem....or perhaps a fat transfer? What are my current options? And how much would each procedure (on average) cost...?
Answer: Botox or fillers for Vertical Forehead Depression Thank you for the photographs, although in-person evaluation is essential.

Answer: Consider Botox First, & Then Filler For Glabella Indentation The photos suggest that the "dent" may actually be resulting from tension within the expression muscles of the glabella to the sides of the depression. If this is indeed so, then the use of a neuromodulator, such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, would help to reduce the tension and lower the "mounds" to the sides of the dent, in effect smoothing the entire region. If filler is still needed to achieve further smoothing, then a soft, cohesive filler, such as Belotero Balance, which can be injected quite superficially without worry of causing the unwanted, bluish Tyndall Effect when injected higher up in the skin, may further improve the overall appearance. While your concerns about problems from injecting fillers in this region are legitimate, in experienced hands, these are quite rare and actually have been more associated with the use of thick volumizing agents, such as fat injections in this location. Make sure you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician with experience and expertise in nonsurgical facial rejuvenation using injectable fillers and volumizers. Good luck to you.

Answer: Botox plus fillers can help with this! This indentation is something that comes from too many frowning motions. After a period of time it needs to have both filler and Botox to get back to where it was. I generally use Restylane for this area but it is a tricky area so you need to make sure that you are with someone who knows what they are doing. Good luck!

Answer: Best way to treat forehead dent? Based on your photographs I think Botox would be the best option for you, to start. Although, using fillers on the upper half of the face comes with some risks, it might be an option. I would suggest you consult with a cosmetic Dr so he or she can determine the best treatment for you.
