Failed blepharoplasty & fat transfer. What are my options regarding a lump I have? (Photo)

Thank you for your query. You will benefit from some autologous fat transfer and perhaps some Botox. The forehead should smoothen out with these treatments. Please discuss your concerns with your Plastic surgeon who will be able to help you. All the best!

It looks like a lot of the ridges are due to muscle hypertrophy/muscle movement. Botox might help to calm these areas down. Fat grafting CAN be helpful buut against the bone it may not have the best survival.
