Which procedure would help minimize the v shaped protrusion on my forehead? What can this be? (photos)

Question

I've always felt like I have had a little 'forehead dent', as I called it. But over time it's gotten worse, and the 2 protrusions make a V like shape right about my eyebrows, which creates the forehead concavity. I have gotten Botox in my forehead many times, I was trying to look back at pictures to see if it was helping or making it worse but I couldn't tell. I was wondering if this was a muscle bone or my skull. Is this frontal bossing? Would filler be an option or something else?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, thank you for you question. I recommend treating the glabella muscle complex to help soften the muscle. Always see a trained RN or Doctor for all your injectables. Good luck with your beauty journey!

Based on your photos, these look like your corrugator muscles. I would want to feel your forehead and watch you animate to be sure. These usually go down with repeated Botox treatments. When you say you have gotten Botox in your forehead before, did you also get the glabella treated (between the eyebrows, or the "11" lines)? If so, they may have missed the muscle somewhat or you may need a higher dose to this area.

Filler can be used to straighten the forehead, however, this is an advanced technique. Ensure you choose an experienced provider! Best of luck!
