Dimple above eyebrow, indentation on forehead next to that, and the skin on this side of my forehead is very loose? (photo)

Question

Here's a picture of the left side of my forehead with a neutral expression. As you can see there is a "dimple" of pinched skin, and next to that (harder to see, but easy to feel) there's a "crater" of sorts. When I press against the dimple I feel a hard nodule that I can make "crack" (like cracking knuckles) if I press hard enough. In addition, the skin on this side of my forehead is extremely loose compared to the other side (can pinch it). What is this and how could I minimize its appearance?

and you would have to see a local plastic surgeon who would have the opportunity to take your history and examine the areas of concern to determine what could be causing it.  Then options can be provided to help improve the situation and achieve your goals.

Have you had your primary care examine this?  I would start there and then you would be referred to the appropriate specialist.

Without a photo showing the areas of concern, it will be difficult to provide you with any meaningful advice. Consult with the plastic surgeons in your local area in person. They will have the advantage of addressing your questions with a personal approach. Thank you for sharing your question. Best wishes.
