The aesthetics industry is evolving to focus on eliminating facial disharmony rather than wrinkles one by one. Isolated aesthetic applications are becoming to a thing of the past. Today the most sophisticated technique is Facial Balancing, where the injectable are applied to the entire face to enhance proportionality, symmetry, refined contouring, and natural beauty. Rather than a focus on perfection, we aim to bring a refreshed and refined version of yourself to the surface. This guide will discuss the principles and the natural results that are possible with this approach.

Beyond Isolated Treatments: A Holistic Approach to Facial Aesthetics
Facial Balancing (right) recognizes that all features have to work together to ensure disharmony does not occur the same way a design that solely treats one feature does (left).

Facial Balancing is holistic approach to cosmetic procedures that shifts the focus from singular focus areas, like adding volume to the lips, or smoothing forehead lines, to evaluating the face as a unit. It takes into account the proportions, nose to chin, the volume of the cheeks to the angle of the jaw, the relationships between all the features on the face. This method takes a multilayered approach to make sure that any improvements or enhancements flow together and create a beautiful and balanced result, rather than the common “done” look that is popular with traditional aesthetic treatments. More than anything, the goal is to make small changes, that add up to a dramatic yet subtle improvement to the face.

The Pursuit of Natural Harmony, Not Perfection: What Facial Balancing Truly Means
At its core, Facial Balancing is about recognizing and respecting one’s one-of-a-kind anatomical structures and features. It is about improvement and enhancement and is governed by the principle of finding the best individual balance, rather than conforming to a template that fits society’s universal ideal. Instead of looking at the face as a collection of features, each one of them is treated and improved individually to address face volumetric asymmetries and age-related volume changes.

All of this is done to ensure face harmony and is done so discreetly that the results come out looking completely natural. This is a shift in philosophy, from the sterile and sterile, and unattainable perfection to the flourishing and refined self that highlights the beauty of asymmetries and imperfections. This is done through small, but strategic shifts to ensure that the best possible version of your face is reflected — a version that is well-rested, vibrant, and exudes confidence, while ensuring that the character that makes you, is you, remains intact.

The Foundations of Facial Harmony: Understanding Proportion, Symmetry, and Anatomy
The blend of artistic vision with the accuracy and rigor of medical science is what the discipline of aesthetics is. It is the provision of particular injectable facial volumetrics that results in true facial harmony. Being able to deliver this result requires an understanding of the systemic and anatomical features that underlie the face in its entirety and individually, each one of its features. Also, an understanding of the core principles of aesthetics and the delicate balance that each of the face, and its structures need. An artistic vision entails understanding and appreciation of the meditative balance and beauty, and the core principles governing it that have withstood the test of time.

Understanding Your Facial Anatomy
Everyone has a one-of-a-kind face with different shape and tissue structures. Any Facial Balancing consultation begins with an evaluation of the foundational anatomy. They look at the structure of the bones, the distribution of the fat pads, the muscles and how they move, and the quality of the skin. It’s important to know how these parts interact with one another. Loss of volume in the mid-cheek, for example, can draw attention to under-eye hollows and cause a more pronounced nasolabial fold.

Temporarily filling the nasolabial fold does not solve the issue at hand; instead, it is more effective and permanent to restore volume to the mid-cheek area as it addresses the structural support of the face and the causative issue. This anatomy-based strategy is what makes the treatment plan effective and safe.

Aesthetic Balance and the Golden Ratio
Aesthetic principles help us to establish proportions. The Golden Ratio (1.618…) is considered a standard of beauty and a common ratio of proportions found in nature and art. In Facial Balancing, this ratio can be a useful measurement for determining ideal relationships between facial features. An important one is the horizontal thirds of the face. These horizontal thirds consist of the upper face (hairline to brow), midrace (brows to base of nose), and lower face (base of nose to chin). These thirds should have equal heights. An injector can analyze the proportions and identify where minor changes can help create a more balanced overall appearance.

The Interplay of Facial Symmetry and Contours: Why Balance Matters
No one has a symmetrical face, but a symmetrical face is more attractive. The goal of facial balancing is to improve symmetrical features of a face by addressing the imbalances of one side compared to the other side in the face. This could include volumizing one of the cheeks, getting one side of the jaw more defined, or getting lip fillers to make the lips more even.

However, even more important than symmetry is the contour of the face, such as the shape of the cheeks, the angle of the jawline, the transition from the temple to cheek. Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the reflection of light off the face in the jawline and temple area changing the shape of the face to be more elegant.

Recognizing Imbalances: How Age, Genetics, and Lifestyle Affect Facial Proportions
Imbalances in one’s body can be caused by many different things, and in this case by genetics, aging, and your lifestyle. Bone structure and facial features can be caused by your genetics. The aging process can be predictable at times, as there can be bone reduction, more inefficient layers of fat, and a reduction of collagen and elastin as we age, bringing volume loss especially in the cheeks and temples, while losing ‘youthful’ features. Also, unhealthy lifestyle choices can speed up the process, like smoking, rapid weight loss, and sun exposure.

Conclusion
Injectable facial balancing is the apex of contemporary artistry in the form of aesthetic enhancements, as it has evolved from the concept of focusing on different areas one at a time, to treating the face as a whole with the aim of all-around improvement. This process requires, not only, a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, but also, a keen sense of facial beauty.

Using only dermal fillers and neuromodulators to enhance rather than alter a person’s identity to the most radiant and self-assured version of themselves, this technique is dedicated to maintaining and revealing beauty in the form of proportion and symmetry. Refined facial features with improved symmetry and contouring along with enhanced volume and other transformative features are a result from the mastery of a skilled injector, and are the result of a dedicated, personalized treatment.

For individuals wishing to attain improvement in facial balance and features, which is enhancement without change, a personalized consultation is the next most logical step to take. In this type of enhancement, a thorough and detailed evaluation of a patient with an injector who possesses a high degree of skill and knowledge regarding facial aesthetics is the cornerstone of success in this pursuit.

This thorough evaluation allows the patient to understand the alternatives that are available, and to collaborate, develop a plan that is individualized, and begin the process to fulfill the facial balancing goals that are personally desired.
