I'm 24 but have had these deep lines develop since I was about 16 years old. Are there any treatments that could provide a permanent solution for these deep horizontal lines on my forehead?

Answer: Treatment of Deep Forehead Lines Since these lines are present in a young person they are obviously due to deep attachments of the dermis to the underlying muscle. Older people get them from wrinkles and they usually respond well to laser resurfacing or fillers. In this case, it would seem appropriate to free the wrinkle from the underlying muscle. There is an instrument called a ryhtid dissector that does this, and then fill in the space with some fat to fill up the space and keep it from re-attaching. This would be what I would try.

Answer: Permanent fix for deep forehead lines Dear andy9898Unfortunately, there is no permanent solution to your forehead lines that doesnt involve significant risk of complications. Your safest option is to work on a resolution/ maintenance plan of combining botox and fillers to minimize the lines. Brow lifts, lasers, ... are static solutions and your forehead lines are dynamic issues that have to be handled as such. You should certainly see more than one surgeon in consultation and make a well informed decision.
