Forehead Volume Loss Dent. How can this be corrected? (Photos)

May 17, 2023
Asked By:frkgldn in Northbrook, Illinois

I went to my dermatologist last year for a body check and brought to their attention a dent that was more noticeable across my forehead (diagonal, beginning in the top left and coming down to the middle of my forehead). They thought it could be morphea and sent me to a specialist. This dent was noticeable in pictures dating back to 2017. It inflates with a vein below it. When the vein is puffed up the dent is gone. I'm seeking a doctor experienced with forehead filler and correcting this.
