Brow Shaping with Fillers

here's the next question:

Hi Dr. Rivkin,
Is there anything I can do to give the appearane of a moreprominent brow bone? I had an upper bleph and brow lift and the area below the outside partof me eye between the crease and brow line looks flat. Can a filler stay suspended in that area? The skin is firly firm in that area.
Thanks

i have tried to create more prominence to the brow with good success using fillers like radiesse and artefill. the change is subtle, but is definitely there. with the fillers, especially artefill, it takes a few sessions, but it is worth it because fillers are really the only way to expand that area. there aren't any implants for the brow, nor will there be, considering that this area has alot of important vessels and nerves running through it. this particular situation is more complex since it is a post operative area. the scarring may make it tough to impossible to lift the skin up. but you never know until you try and i have often been surprised in the past.
