Will filler help dents above eyebrows? (Photos)

Question

Female 45 years old. Most my life i noticed these dents above my eyebrows. Lately they look deeper . Will a filler help fill the dents in?

Kally Papantoniou, MD, FAAD · Answer

Filler may help in this area if the dents are related to volume loss, but the forehead and brow region can be very delicate to treat and requires an experienced injector. Depending on the cause, other treatments may also be considered. An in-person evaluation would be the best way to determine the safest and most natural approach.

An indentation above the eyebrow a.k.a. the Botox wrinkle is common for those that get Botox regularly, especially if you focus on the 11th but don’t do your forehead regularly. This can be easily corrected with a few treatments of botulinum injections to the frontalis muscles. Some people will opt to have those wrinkles and raise their eyebrow as high as possible. As with anything else in medicine, sometimes you just can’t have it all. You get the best you can, and a high raised eyebrow is worth a little wrinkle by the side.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Yes—filler can help improve dents above the eyebrows, but it depends on what is causing them.

Those depressions are often due to:

Natural anatomy (bone contour or muscle attachment points)
Soft tissue volume loss with age
Skin tethering in certain areas

If it’s primarily volume-related, a very small amount of filler placed conservatively can smooth the contour nicely.

However, this is a delicate area. The key is:

Conservative placement
Deep plane technique when appropriate
Avoiding overcorrection (which can look unnatural very quickly)
