How To Treat A Dent On Top Left Of Forehead Due To An Injury?
Hi,I have a dent at the top left of my forehead where my hair line is!it was caused by someone throwing a bottle which left me with 7 stitches! This happened a few years ago but at the time the hospital never even gave me an x-Ray and just stitched me up.... This happened a few years ago, should I be worried?

Hi there, Sorry to hear about the bottle and the dent!
The dent at this point could be due to either a defect in the skull (would have been there for years, since the injury). Or more likely due to loss of muscle and tendon tissue in that region (could be a slow progressive process)
The best way to figure t out is to get some x-rays. If it is a soft tissue (tendon and muscle), then you need to go to a cosmetic surgeon who can see if anything can be done.
I hope this helps!
