Hematoma 10+ years ago
by Jen6120, Nov 10, 2009 09:39AM
Hello,
I was in a bad car accident about 10 years ago, and my forehead hit the front window very hard. I had brusing in both eyes and a huge hematoma about the size of a large egg in the middle of my forehead. The doctors told me that it would be about a year before the swelling went back to normal, and it took quite a bit longer then that. 10 years later, the swelling has gone down, but now my forehead has a dent with some hard tissue around it. I never had any blood drained. It has bothered me for years and I'm getting married next summer. Is there anything I can do even though it's been so long?
Thanks.

I would assume you have extensive deep scar tissue as a result of resolution and healing from the hematoma. It may be possible to smooth the area and I would consult with a local plastic surgeon. Depedning on the condition of your forehead, treatment option could run from scar revision to injectable fillers.
