When it comes to facial aesthetics, balance is everything. While you might initially focus on a single area of concern, such as thin lips or hollow cheeks, achieving truly natural-looking results requires a comprehensive approach that considers how all your facial features work together. At Severn River Medspa, our expert practitioners specialize in using dermal fillers to create harmony and proportion across your entire face.

Understanding Facial Balance

Facial balance isn't just about symmetry—it's about creating proper proportions between different facial features and maintaining natural contours that complement your unique characteristics. As we age, we lose volume in key areas of our face, disrupting these proportions and creating an unbalanced appearance.

Facial balancing with fillers aims to restore or enhance these proportions while maintaining a natural look that honors your individual features. This approach requires both artistic vision and deep anatomical knowledge, which is why choosing experienced practitioners like those at Severn River Medspa is crucial for achieving optimal results.

Key Areas for Facial Balancing

Each area of the face plays a vital role in overall facial harmony. Here's how different areas can be enhanced with dermal fillers:

Cheeks and Midface

The cheeks form the foundation of facial balance. Loss of volume in this area can create a hollow or gaunt appearance and contribute to the formation of nasolabial folds. Strategic filler placement in the cheeks can restore youthful contours, provide subtle lift and create better proportion with the lower face.

Temples

Often overlooked, the temples play a crucial role in framing the face. Volume loss here can create a skeletal appearance and affect overall facial balance. Careful filler application can restore fullness and create a more youthful appearance.

Chin and Jawline

The lower third of your face significantly impacts overall facial harmony. A weak chin or poorly defined jawline can affect facial proportions. Dermal fillers can enhance chin projection, define the jawline and create better balance with the upper face.

Lips and Perioral Area

While full lips are desirable, they must be in proportion with other facial features. Our practitioners consider your natural lip shape and facial structure when enhancing lip volume. We also address the perioral area to support the lips and maintain natural movement.

Under-Eye Area

Hollow under-eyes can create an aged or tired appearance. When appropriate, careful filler placement in the tear troughs can restore volume and create a more refreshed look while maintaining harmony with the cheeks.

Our Approach to Natural-Looking Results

Creating natural-looking results requires both technical skill and artistic vision. Our practitioners at Severn River Medspa follow several key principles:

Gradual Enhancement

We often recommend a staged approach to facial balancing. This allows us to build volume gradually and make refined adjustments based on how your face responds to initial treatments.

Custom Filler Selection

Different areas of the face require different types of fillers. We select from a range of premium dermal fillers, choosing specific products based on the area being treated and the desired outcome.

Strategic Placement

Proper filler placement is crucial for natural-looking results. Our practitioners understand facial anatomy and use advanced techniques to place fillers in ways that enhance your features while maintaining natural movement.

What to Expect During Treatment

The Consultation Process

At Severn River Medspa, we begin every facial balancing treatment with a thorough consultation. Our experienced practitioners evaluate your facial structure and proportions while discussing your aesthetic goals and concerns. During this important first visit, we assess your skin quality and volume distribution to create a customized treatment plan. We'll explain the various types of fillers best suited for different areas of your face and set realistic expectations for your results. This comprehensive approach ensures we develop the most effective strategy for achieving your desired outcome.

Facial Balancing Treatment

Your treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin, followed by the application of topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Our practitioners carefully mark strategic injection points before precisely placing fillers using advanced techniques. Throughout your session, we assess results from multiple angles and make subtle adjustments as needed to achieve optimal balance. Most facial balancing sessions take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. 

Recovery

While you may experience some swelling and minor bruising afterward, these effects typically resolve within a few days. Most patients return to typical activities immediately after their treatment, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimize these effects.

Maintaining Your Results

Dermal filler results can last 6-18 months, depending on the products used and the areas treated.

To maintain optimal results, we recommend:

• Following all aftercare instructions
• Scheduling regular follow-up appointments
• Protecting your skin from sun damage
• Maintaining a consistent skincare routine
• Staying hydrated and following a healthy lifestyle

FAQs

How long will my first appointment take? 

Your initial consultation will take around 30 minutes so we can thoroughly discuss your goals and create the perfect treatment plan. The injection session time varies depending on the areas being treated but typically takes 30-60 minutes.

Is facial balancing with fillers painful? 

We take several steps to ensure your comfort during treatment, including topical numbing cream and ice. Most of our patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure.

How soon will I see the results? 

You'll notice immediate volume improvement after your treatment, though some swelling may occur. Your final results will be apparent in about two weeks as the swelling subsides and the fillers settle.

How much does facial balancing cost? 

The cost varies depending on the areas treated and the amount of filler needed. We'll provide a detailed treatment plan with associated costs during your consultation. We offer several payment options to help make treatment accessible.

Can facial balancing fix my asymmetry? 

Yes, strategic filler placement can help improve facial symmetry. However, some asymmetry is natural and trying to achieve perfect symmetry may actually look less so.

What happens if I don't like the results? 

One advantage of dermal fillers is that they can be dissolved if needed. However, this is rarely necessary when working with experienced practitioners who take a conservative, staged approach to treatment.
