Dent (Ripple) on forehead. What can be done to fix it? (Photo)

S
Shelly1414Jul 19, 2022

I have a dent, almost like a ripple on the right side of my forehead, it's a pretty deep dent in my opinion. I've shown my doctor and they had me do some blood work and a full head xray. My X-ray came back with no bone abnormalities. The lab work she had me do, which all came out fine, was a complete blood count/C Reactive Protein/Lactate Dehydrogenase. Is there anything she might be missing I should have her check next? What can be done to fix? I'm so self conscious about it :(

Hi @Anna1808! I would recommend a hyaluronic acid based filler into the area. Restyle Refyne or Defyne works great for the marionette lines.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...
