Can Low Estrogen Level Cause An Indentation On The Forehead?

I had stage 3 ovarian cancer 2 years ago -went through chemotherapy, recurred and went through major debulking surgery again, last year.Anyway- I developed an indent in my forehead that is really odd- nothing where any injury happened- it follows next to a vein that goes down my forehead- I wondered if it could be related to lack of estrogen? But I m on an estrogen patch so am getting some. I have both BrCA mutations & my tumor was estrogen negative- not affected by estrogen hence I can be on some estrogen.Thanks- PS: I m 58
