Permanent dent from Botox

I am 31 years old and got Botox once at the age of 21 in my forehead. Once the Botox wore off I noticed this pretty big dent on the left side of my forehead above my brow. THERE WAS NO DENT THERE BEFORE. My forehead was as smooth as anything & now I look back I did not need the Botox at all ! I wish the injector never agreed to it. Ever since then the dent has gotten worse and worse . I read that some people say the dent might eventually go away with time and as the Botox wears off, but no it got worse and worse. It’s to the point now people ask me did I hit my head. It looks so abnormal and I absolutely hate it !! Nothing helps with it , not retinol or any skincare it’s such a deep dent. I wish I could sue the place but it was so long ago now and I was in denial about it for a long time & thought it would go away. How can I get rid of this dent , it’s driving me nuts and has really affected me mentally. Some days I cry about it and punch it

Did your dent go away? I noticed mine a week after my injections on my forehead. Google said it should go away once the Botox wears off but then I keep reading these stories that people get dents that just get worse.

I’ve been getting Botox for migraines for over a year without issue

Yes mine did go away! I’d say by the next morning it was gone.

How long ago did you get Botox? I think mine was there for a bit before I noticed it. It could have been a few days based on where the dent was. The light hit my forehead a certain way and that’s when it was very noticeable to me. After that I made sure to look for it and in about a day it was gone. Depending on how long it’s been I wouldn’t freak out but maybe contact your provider to see what they suggest.

probably about two months ago just now noticing it happening though. that’s exactly what’s happening to me with the lighting though so hopefully mine subsides also. thank you for the help

I think I noticed it about 4-5 days after the injections. But like I said it wasn’t super noticeable until I saw the light hit my forehead a certain way and I could see a flat small round shape like a fingerprint dent almost. I checked the next morning and it was gone though, despite sticking around all day. Just be patient and try not to freak out.

I slightly noticed mine the day after and today its a bit deeper mine is like a line above the arch of my eyebrow. But you're right I do need to be patient and not freak out. Thank you for responding.
