What are forehead depressions?
Some people have a forehead that is generally well shaped but has one or more uneven spots: a vertical groove down the centre, shallow hollows just above the eyebrows, a dip where the forehead meets the temple, or a depression left by an old injury or scar. Under overhead light, such as in offices or the bright shops of Gangnam, these areas catch shadows, making the forehead look bumpy even when its overall curve is fine.
Depression correction differs from general forehead filler, which is covered on its own page. The goal is not to change how rounded your forehead looks from the side, but to fill in the low points so the surface reads as one smooth, continuous plane.
- Central vertical groove
- Hollows just above the brows
- Dips at the forehead–temple junction
- Localised indentations from past injury or scarring
Who is a good candidate?
This treatment tends to suit people who notice specific shadows on their forehead in photos or mirrors, particularly under downlights. It may be less suitable if the dent is caused by active skin conditions or if a scar is tethered tightly to deeper tissue; in those cases Dr. Song will discuss whether filler can help or whether another approach is more sensible. Suitability is always decided after an in-person assessment.
How Dr. Song maps and corrects each depression
Because depressions can be subtle, Needs Mapping starts with careful observation under different lighting and angles. Dr. Song notes the exact outline of each dip, then asks you to raise and relax your brows, since muscle movement can make some grooves deeper or shallower. She also feels the skin thickness over each spot.
The Curated Plan decides how much correction each area needs, which is often quite small. During Tailored Treatment, filler is placed in fine amounts and blended into the surrounding surface, so the transition between treated and untreated skin is seamless. Over-correction is avoided, because a raised ridge is more noticeable than a slight dip.
Keeping it natural
The forehead is a large, visible surface, so even a small excess can be seen. Live Young Clinic's approach is to treat only what is needed and to reassess rather than add more in one sitting. Dr. Song considers how your forehead is likely to change as you age, so the correction continues to look appropriate over time rather than just on the day.
Safety, aftercare and why patients choose Apgujeong
Temporary swelling, redness, small bumps or bruising can occur and usually resolve as the skin heals. Serious complications involving blood vessels are uncommon but possible, which is one reason to choose an experienced doctor who knows forehead anatomy well. After treatment, avoid massaging the area unless instructed and skip heat, strenuous exercise and alcohol briefly.
At Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Dr. Song explains every step in English and performs the treatment herself in a private 1:1 treatment room, rather than handing you to rotating staff. International visitors can ask questions and share photos on WhatsApp before booking.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between forehead filler and forehead depression correction?
Forehead filler reshapes the overall curve of the forehead. Depression correction focuses on specific low spots, such as a central groove or dents above the brows, to make the surface even. Dr. Song will tell you which one fits your concern after examining you in person.
Can filler fix a dent from an old scar or injury?
Sometimes. It depends on how deep the dent is and whether the skin is tightly attached to tissue beneath. Dr. Song will examine the area in person at the Apgujeong clinic and explain whether filler is likely to help.
Will I need more than one session?
Some people are satisfied after one visit, while others benefit from a small top-up once swelling has settled. Because Dr. Song prefers conservative correction, she may suggest reviewing the result before adding more. Your plan is decided at consultation.
Is the result visible right away?
You will usually see a difference immediately, but swelling can make the area look fuller at first. The more settled result generally appears as swelling subsides, and the timing varies from person to person.
Is this treatment safe?
When performed by an experienced doctor with genuine approved products, filler is widely used. However, risks such as bruising, swelling and, rarely, vascular complications exist. Dr. Song explains these in English before treatment so you can decide with full information.
