Is It Possible to Achieve a Rounder, More Protruded Forehead?

smilebaby123Dec 2, 2009

I am a female and happen to have a very flat and receded forehead. This makes my profile look very weak. Is it possible to achieve a forehead that sticks out more, safely and effectively? I read about hydroxyappatite and Implants ( but they have a higher shift rate though.) I don't want any complications.

Botox can be done within 2-3 weeks after a facelift. I prefer my patients to wait at least 4-6 weeks post surgery.
