Fillers Specialist

Facial balancing is an advanced aesthetic methodology that uses dermal fillers to restore symmetry, proportion, and structural harmony across the entire face. Unlike traditional filler treatments that enhance individual features in isolation, facial balancing evaluates how the upper, mid, and lower face relate to one another. This includes bone structure, soft tissue support, muscle movement, and volume distribution. Because facial balancing requires a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and proportion, it is considered a more sophisticated and technical approach to dermal filler treatment.

Uneven facial features often result from differences in bone structure, soft tissue volume, muscle dominance, or age-related changes. Facial balancing corrects these imbalances by strategically placing dermal fillers in areas that restore support and symmetry. Rather than attempting to “match” both sides exactly, the goal is to improve overall harmony so the face appears balanced from multiple angles and expressions.

Many patients who have had fillers in the past received treatment focused on one area, such as lips or cheeks. Facial balancing differs because it begins with a full-face assessment and a treatment plan designed to address multiple contributing factors to imbalance. This approach often results in fewer syringes over time, more natural-looking outcomes, and results that age better as facial structure changes.

Yes. One of the most common reasons patients seek facial balancing is a general sense that their face looks unbalanced, tired, or uneven without a specific concern. Facial balancing is designed for exactly this scenario. By evaluating proportions and structure across the entire face, subtle adjustments can create noticeable improvement without dramatic changes.

The jawline and chin play a foundational role in facial balance. Facial balancing often includes structural filler placement in these areas to improve alignment, projection, and contour. Supporting the lower face can improve symmetry, enhance profile balance, and create a stronger framework that benefits the entire face.

 When performed correctly, facial balancing should never look overfilled. At Aesthetic Lab, filler placement is conservative and strategic, focusing on structure rather than volume. The goal is to enhance balance while preserving natural expression and movement. Patients should look refreshed and harmonious, not noticeably “done.”

There is no standard number of syringes for facial balancing because each face is unique. Some patients require minimal product, while others benefit from a staged approach over time. During your consultation, your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your anatomy, goals, and long-term aesthetic strategy rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yes. Facial balancing is often best approached gradually, particularly when correcting asymmetry or restoring lost structure. Staging treatments allows for subtle refinement, careful evaluation of results, and optimal long-term outcomes. This approach also minimizes the risk of overcorrection.

Results from dermal fillers used in facial balancing typically last several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler, treatment areas, and individual metabolism. While fillers are not permanent, maintaining facial balance over time often requires less product with subsequent treatments as structural support is preserved.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during facial balancing treatments. Topical numbing agents are used, and many dermal fillers contain lidocaine to improve comfort. Patients may feel pressure or fullness during injections, which typically resolves quickly after treatment.

Downtime is minimal. Many patients return to work or daily activities the same day. Temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur, particularly in areas like the lips or under-eyes, but these effects generally resolve within a few days. Your provider will give specific aftercare instructions to support healing.

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals. Facial balancing requires a deep understanding of facial anatomy and vascular structures to minimize risk. At Aesthetic Lab, all treatments are performed by licensed, medically trained injectors who prioritize safety and precision.

Facial balancing may involve the cheeks, jawline, chin, lips, temples, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. The specific areas treated depend on how each feature contributes to overall facial balance.

Yes. Facial balancing is often combined with Botox, skin tightening treatments, or other non-surgical procedures to create comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining treatments allows for improved balance between muscle movement, volume, and skin quality.

Facial balancing treatments are led by Gifty Aidoo, FNP-C, a facial balancing specialist with extensive advanced training in facial anatomy, proportion-based aesthetics, and structural filler techniques. She is supported by a highly trained injector team that follows the same standards and philosophy of care.

The best way to determine if facial balancing is appropriate is through a consultation. During this visit, your provider will assess facial proportions, discuss your concerns, and create a customized plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
