How Can I Get Rid Of My Deep Glabellar Furrow?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in glagella furrow reconstruction. I recently had a brow lift and filler but still no improvement.

A:The surgical treatment of a deep glabella furrow that is refractory to Botox, injectable fillers, an endoscopic release is a direct excision of the furrow with a placement of a glabellar implant beneath it. Between the muscle removal and the placement of an implant beneath it the furrow is significantly reduced or completely leveled. This does, however, create a small fine line vertical scar in its place which is the length of the original furrow. Thus usually this procedure is reserved for older patients with extremely deep V shaped single midline furrows. You are a bit younger than most patients who would have this procedure and your likely goal of a smooth glabellar area that is wrinkle free may not be achievable.
