What is Facial Balancing?
Facial-balancing is when you use a little bit of dermal-filler in a lot of places to achieve a more balanced and proportional appearance. By addressing the whole face, we can create the most flattering final outcome.
Evaluating and treating the face as a whole allows us to help correct any asymmetries, address volume deficits, and make sure that every facial-feature is cohesive with each other. A facial-balancing procedure will be completely customized for each individual because it depends on the patient’s unique facial features and goals.
The desired result is always a natural-looking, full-face improvement.
Does the thought of 3-syringes at one time stress you out?
In the answer is “NO”, skip to next question. If your answer is “YES!”, please don’t let it!
For context, three full syringes of dermal filler is 3cc’s, which is barely 75% of a TEASPOON. (See picture included at top for reference.) When this small amount of product is spread throughout the entire face, it provides an extremely natural-looking, flattering result. There are so many places that can benefit from a little bit of dermal-filler, it is easy to quickly use up the product.
For Facial Balancing, how do you decide which areas to treat first?
The areas of your face that either a.) you are most concerned with, or b.) will make the biggest difference, will be the priority of your treatment. Auxiliary areas will be fully discussed with you before any treatments occur.
How much filler is usually used for full face-balancing?
Everyone’s face will need a different amount of dermal-filler to achieve full correction. Depending on their baseline and desired goals, it could take anywhere from 2 to 6+ syringes! During a treatment like this, various facial-areas are tweaked to work harmoniously with each other, and our goal is always to help create the most flattering, cohesive, natural look.
