Find Full Facial Balance with Dermal Fillers

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like something was just...off? Sometimes it’s hard to put your finger on. Is it asymmetry? One side of your face doesn’t quite “match” the other? Or is it that your features aren’t proportionate?

This feeling is common, and, knowing that facial symmetry and proportions are related to how we perceive appearances, achieving a more balanced look is a goal for many of our patients.

What is Facial Balancing?

The concept of facial balancing is an advanced approach to cosmetic treatments that focuses on creating proportion and symmetry among your features without surgery or other invasive procedures.

Instead, we can utilize minimally invasive dermal fillers to subtly adjust the proportions of facial features, enhance your natural facial structure, and provide subtle yet impactful improvement.

With facial balancing, instead of focusing entirely on treating one feature in isolation, we want to look at the entire face as a whole and make adjustments where needed to improve symmetry and create ideal proportions between your features.

How Dermal Fillers Work

Dermal fillers are injectable, biocompatible “gels” made primarily from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally present in the skin and helps maintain moisture and volume. When injected into specific areas, these fillers can restore lost volume, add structure, and smooth wrinkles.

A mix of products might be used as different fillers have distinct consistencies and properties. Some are better for building structure in the chin or cheeks, while others are softer and more flexible, which is ideal for lips and undereyes. An experienced provider will select the appropriate type of filler based on the treatment area and your specific goals.

Common Treatment Areas for Facial Balancing

Achieving comprehensive facial balance often involves treating multiple areas to ensure they work together harmoniously.

Cheeks

The cheeks are a prominent and foundational area of the face. As volume is lost with age, the face can begin to sag, looking flat or tired. By adding filler to the cheeks, we can restore a gentle lift to the mid-face, which helps to soften the appearance of nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and supports the under-eye area.

Chin

The chin anchors the lower face and profile. A weak chin can make the nose seem larger or the jawline less defined. Dermal fillers can be used to augment the chin, improving its shape and your profile.

Jawline

A defined jawline can not only improve the proportions of your face, but it can even slim your appearance. Fillers can be strategically placed along the jaw to create a sharper, more contoured line.

Lips

Facial balancing considers the size and shape of the lips relative to the rest of your features. Fillers can be used to correct asymmetry, define the border of the lips, subtly adjust shape, and add volume that complements your facial structure.

Benefits of Facial Balancing with Fillers

Choosing a comprehensive facial balancing approach offers several advantages over treating isolated areas.

• Natural-Looking Results: By focusing on your whole face, the changes appear subtle and integrated.

• Non-Surgical: Dermal filler treatments are minimally invasive and do not require significant downtime. Most procedures are completed in under an hour, and patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately.

• Affordable: Because filler is quick, and minimally invasive, even targeting multiple areas can be surprisingly affordable, especially when compared with many other treatments.

• Individualized Treatment Plans: Facial balancing is highly personalized. Your provider will develop a plan based on your unique facial anatomy and desired outcome.

• Long-Lasting Outcomes: The results from dermal fillers are durable. Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, outcomes can last from 12 to 24 months.
