Dent Getting Bigger On The Forehead After Getting Brow Lift. Is The Bone Deteriorating?
I had a brow lift about 8yrs ago. Over the last 3-4yrs. I noticed that I have a dent that is about 6inches long beginning just above my hairline and going down into my forehead more. It is on the left side and is increasingly getting larger and deeper. It appears that my bone is deteriorating. I am a petite 4'9" 53yr old woman that has osteoporosis for 30yrs and deteriorating bone loss. Is this something to be concerned about?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The bigger dent on the forehead is likely to be related to osteoporosis. This needs proper investigations and a specific treatment under the care of an orthopedician to prevent further bone loss.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
