I have personally achieved very gratifying results when treating various types of undesirable forehead sloping and indentation using an appropriately low viscosity, malleable, cohesive HA filler injected properly throughout the depression that is distorting the profile appearance. The forehead, owing to the nature of its underlying vasculature, is not an area to be left to the novice hands of inexperienced injectors accustomed to only using plain Restylane or ordinary Juvederm to fill smile folds. You would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Of course it is difficult to say simply from the photos provided, but the kind of dent and its forehead location are consistent with a condition known as En Coup de Sabre, a form of linear scleroderma. You would be wise to consult with a board certified dermatologist. If this is indeed so, then...
It may be difficult to distinguish hard lumps due to scars and granulomas around deep sutures from bone lums this early after surgery. It appears in these photos that they are located very close to the incision/scar. Sometimes bone dust left in the wound after bone contouring can create a...
