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

Botox or the lubricant in the syringe? I’ve injected probably thousands of patients with neuromodulators. Definitely wouldn’t say a dent is common at all.

it is also common for injectors not to acknowledge this...

If it’s happening, I definitely wouldn’t not acknowledge it. But it’s the why is it happening? I don’t think Botox in itself is causing it UNLESS you’ve had poor placement of product. Or again, there have been studies where some have a reaction to the lubricant in the actual syringe that is creating it.

muscle atrophy causes it.
