Quick Facts about Consultations for Forehead Lines and shape in Melbourne
Lines on our forehead are created naturally when we make certain movements and expressions with our face. Over time, those lines become deeper and more permanent, resulting in forehead wrinkles. In addition, our skin produces less collagen and loses its volume and suppleness as we age. This causes our skin to loosen and sag, which leads to deeper wrinkles and loss of volume in the forehead. Forehead Line consultations in Melbourne from Face To Face Medical may help address these issues.
What do forehead wrinkles look like?
Forehead wrinkles appear as horizontal lines across the forehead. They make the person look more stressed, more tired, and worst of all – older. They may start as fine lines, but eventually, forehead wrinkles can become quite deep.
Forehead wrinkles are very hard to hide with makeup. Often, they are deep and makeup sinks into the crevices, exaggerating the wrinkles. Without make-up, they are equally noticeable and add age and fatigue to your appearance. Preventing these lines from forming is easier than trying to reverse them. Therefore, starting your consultation process just before they become permanently etched into your forehead is recommended. To address forehead lines, our consultation process provides a variety of treatment plans for our Melbourne patients.
When do forehead wrinkles start?
Although many believe wrinkles appear with age, people with very expressive faces can get them early on. For that reason, there is no specific timeline for seeking a consultation for forehead wrinkles.
Several factors need to be considered during the consultation for forehead lines in Melbourne.
- The forehead muscle is the only muscle that elevates the eyebrow. It is important when treating forehead lines to consider the pre-existing eyebrow position, eyelid heaviness, as well as the patient’s goals. We discuss how to avoid heaviness in the forehead and dropping of the Eyebrows.
- Some patients would like to achieve an eyebrow elevation. We discuss this in your consultation. To achieve this requires very specific knowledge of anatomy.
- We discuss the degree of forehead line softening and forehead movement during the consultation. Some patients like to have only minimal softening of lines whilst maintaining movement, whereas others prefer a greater degree of softening and no movement.
We strive create a treatment plan to maintain a natural look in which you have a softening of forehead lines while maintaining normal eyebrow expressions. Each patient has individual anatomy, goals and facial balance, so we individualise every treatment plan. The clinicians at Face To Face Medical are highly skilled and strive for the best and most natural outcome possible.

What Do Forehead consultations Involve?
A thorough assessment and consultation followed by a treatment plan that is discussed with you. Included in the assessment is a careful observation of your muscle movement in animation, and your lines at rest and in animated expression. In addition, we assess the forehead shape and any volume loss in the forehead. In females, a slightly convex forehead shape is desirable whereas, in males, it is a straight forehead. The forehead shape can be concave due to genetics or age. Photographic documentation is part of every initial assessment.
