Facial Balancing at West Hills Dermatology
Facial balancing is not about changing how you look. It is about refining proportions, restoring balance, and enhancing your natural features in an authentic, effortless way. Facial balancing is approached with medical precision, advanced anatomical knowledge, and an artistic understanding of facial structure.
Rather than focusing on a single feature in isolation, facial balancing looks at the face as a whole. Using carefully placed dermal fillers and injectable techniques, our providers work to improve symmetry, restore lost volume, and create smoother transitions between facial features. The result is a refreshed, harmonious appearance that still looks like you.
Facial balancing is an advanced injectable treatment approach that evaluates relationships among facial features. Cheeks, jawline, chin, lips, temples, and under-eye areas are assessed together rather than treated individually. This comprehensive strategy allows for subtle enhancements that improve overall facial harmony rather than drawing attention to one specific area.
Many people seek facial balancing not because they want to look different, but because something feels slightly off. This could be a recessed chin, a soft jawline, uneven facial contours, or volume loss that has occurred gradually with age. Facial balancing addresses these concerns by restoring proportion and structure using FDA-approved dermal fillers.
Facial balancing is always customized. There is no standardized template. Your facial anatomy, bone structure, skin quality, and personal goals guide every treatment decision.
Facial balancing begins with a detailed evaluation of your facial anatomy, proportions, and natural structure. Rather than treating one area at a time, your provider looks at how each feature relates to the others, including bone structure, soft tissue support, and areas affected by volume loss over time.
Using this assessment, small amounts of dermal filler are strategically placed to restore balance, improve symmetry, and create smoother transitions between facial features. Every placement is intentional and conservative, guided by medical expertise and an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy and vascular pathways.
The goal of facial balancing is not a dramatic change. Enhancements are designed to support your natural features and refine overall harmony. Results look subtle, refreshed, and well-proportioned, so you still look like yourself, just more rested and balanced.
Facial balancing offers a range of aesthetic and confidence-boosting benefits, including:
Many patients find that facial balancing helps them feel more confident and refreshed while still looking like themselves.
Facial balancing treatments may involve one or multiple areas depending on your needs and goals. Common treatment areas include:
CheeksRestoring volume to the midface can improve facial structure, soften nasolabial folds, and create a more youthful contour. Cheek support often improves the appearance of surrounding areas as well.
JawlineEnhancing the jawline can improve facial definition and balance, particularly when paired with treatments to the chin or cheeks. Jawline contouring can create a smoother transition between the face and the neck.
ChinA recessed or under-projected chin can affect overall facial symmetry. Subtle chin enhancement can add balance to the profile and improve lower-face proportions.
LipsLip enhancement within facial balancing focuses on proportion rather than size. The goal is to create harmony between the lips and surrounding facial features.
Under-Eye AreaVolume loss or hollowness under the eyes can create a tired appearance. Strategic placement of filler can smooth transitions and brighten the under-eye area.
TemplesTemple volume loss can contribute to facial narrowing and aging. Restoring this area can improve overall facial balance and support the upper face.
Not every patient needs treatment in all of these areas. Facial balancing is about doing only what is necessary to achieve a cohesive result.
