True beauty lies in balance. While many focus on treating individual lines or wrinkles, the most profound aesthetic results come from a holistic approach known as Facial Balancing. This involves viewing the face as a canvas and using specialized tools to create harmony, symmetry, and optimal proportion.
At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology, our expert clinical injectors utilize the versatile and trusted Restylane®portfolio of dermal fillers to execute this sophisticated art, giving our patients a naturally refreshed and beautifully structured look that lasts.
What is Facial Balancing?
Facial balancing is a highly personalized, non-surgical approach to facial aesthetics. It's not about making a dramatic change; it's about refining proportions, restoring lost volume, and enhancing contours so that all your features—from your chin and jawline to your cheeks and lips—work together in harmony.
Aging, genetics, and volume loss can lead to imbalances, such as:
- A "weak" or recessed chin that detracts from the jawline.
- Hollows under the eyes (tear troughs) that make cheeks look flat.
- An overall downward shift of volume that creates an aged, tired appearance.
Facial balancing strategically places hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to correct these subtle asymmetries and structural deficiencies, resulting in an overall lifted, rested, and more proportional profile.
Why Restylane® is the Ideal Choice for Facial Balancing
The Restylane® family of hyaluronic acid fillers is perfectly suited for the demands of facial balancing because of its diverse portfolio of gel consistencies. This variety allows our injectors to select the exact product needed for the exact area, ensuring superior structure and natural movement.
The Restylane® Facial Balancing Treatment Areas
Facial balancing using Restylane® is a comprehensive, full-face approach that typically involves treating multiple areas in a staged manner:
- Mid-Face Lift (Cheeks): Restoring volume here creates a "lift" that indirectly improves nasolabial folds and tear troughs, providing the foundation for youth.
- Profile Harmony (Chin & Jawline): Defining the chin and jawline is crucial for creating a crisp, attractive profile and improving the definition between the face and neck.
- Under-Eye Rejuvenation (Tear Troughs): Correcting hollowness here dramatically reduces the appearance of dark circles and fatigue, connecting the cheek structure seamlessly to the orbital rim.
- Lip Proportionality: Enhancing the volume or definition of the lips (often with Restylane® Kysse) to ensure they are in perfect balance with the size of the nose, chin, and overall face.
