How at-risk is Restylane or Juvederm for causing occlusion on deep forehead scar? (Photo)

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.

This is a very risky area for filler and I would try other methods prior to filler in this scar. I would consider laser, subcision, and possibly microneedling. Filler would have to be performed by a doctor in my opinion. Another option is excision which should be entertained prior to starting any treatment.

Due to the risk associated with filling this area you may want to consider other options such as microneedling or Morpheus8 treatments. You can also consider excision of the scar. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Hi there,
have you considered Factora treatment for the scar. It is not guaranteed that filler will lift this scar because there are changes to the quality of the skin in that region. Also, bellafill is a good option for filling scars.

The area on the forehead is high risk even in its own right. Let alone with Scars and the abberant vessels they can form.
With regard to the certification personally I don’t think your provider is qualified to do such a high risk procedure. Look for only board-certified physicians in one of the core aesthetic specialties such a Dermatology and Plastic Surgery
This certification that your nurse got was probably only a weekend course. This area is very complex and quite varied among individuals. The person injecting really needs to know the anatomy.
This area of medicine it’s just so poorly regulated and anybody can claim to be an expert
Good luck and all the best

Hi there,

That can be a tricky area with some complications. I would consider prp with microneedling. Have a consultation with a Board Certified Physician.
You can also consult with a plastic surgeon and consider scar excision.

Best of luck!
