What is Facial Balancing?

Facial balancing is all about bringing harmony to your features. It's not about changing everything—it's about small tweaks that make your face look more proportioned and more you. Think: smoothing out lines on the forehead, lifting tired-looking eyes, or giving your jawline a little more definition.

This can be especially helpful if you've lost weight and feel like your face looks hollow or uneven, or if things just don't feel as tight and lifted as they used to. The right combination of treatments can make you look more awake, refreshed, and confident, without anyone knowing you had anything done.

Dermal Fillers

Fillers do more than just plump lips (though they're great for that, too). They're a go-to for restoring volume in the cheeks, under the eyes, or around the mouth. We use hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which work beautifully to smooth lines and bring back that soft, full look. There's also poly-L-lactic acid, which helps your body rebuild collagen over time for a more gradual glow-up.

Botox

If you're seeing lines on your forehead or between your brows that stick around even when you're not making expressions, Botox can help soften them. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, which gives your skin a smoother, more rested look, without freezing your face.

Facelift

When fillers and Botox aren't quite enough, a facelift can help lift and tighten sagging skin. It's great for people noticing deeper lines or looser skin along the jaw or neck. The goal isn't to make you look different—it's to help you look like you, just fresher and more sculpted.

Brow Lift

A brow lift is a subtle way to lift heavy brows or smooth a wrinkled forehead. It can really open up the eye area and help you look more awake without changing your expression.

Neck Lift

If you're bothered by loose skin or that soft area under the chin (hello, Zoom fatigue), a neck lift can create a more defined jawline and smoother neck area.

Blepharoplasty

Also known as eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty helps with sagging eyelids or puffiness under the eyes. It's one of those treatments that makes people say, "You look so well-rested!" without being able to put their finger on why.

Chin Implants

A small tweak to your chin can have a big impact on your facial balance. Chin implants can help create a stronger profile and more defined lower face, especially if your chin feels a little recessed or "soft."

Buccal Fat Removal

This one's for anyone wanting more contour in their cheeks. Buccal fat removal takes out some of the fat in the lower part of your face to create more definition. It works especially well if you feel like your face still looks full even after weight loss.

Clear + Brilliant

This is a great place to start if you want to improve skin tone and texture without much downtime. It's gentle and fast and gives your skin that healthy, post-vacation glow.

SkinPen Microneedling

Microneedling helps improve skin texture and boost collagen by creating tiny channels in the skin. It's great for fine lines and acne scars or just for giving your skin a firmer, smoother feel.

Sciton Forever Young BBL

This light-based treatment targets sun damage, redness, and uneven tone. It's great for keeping your skin looking clear, bright, and, yes, youthful.

Sciton HALO

HALO uses two types of lasers at once to treat everything from dark spots to dull texture with just a few days of downtime. It's one of our favorites for skin that needs a refresh.

Fraxel®

Fraxel helps reduce wrinkles, scars, and discoloration by encouraging new skin growth. It's a good option if you're ready for something stronger than a facial but still not quite ready for surgery.

Sciton Contour TRL

The Total Resurfacing Laser is our go-to for deeper resurfacing. If you've got serious texture concerns or deeper wrinkles, Contour TRL gives noticeable results with a bit more downtime—but it's totally worth it.

More Than Just Looks

Benefits of Facial Balancing

It's not just about how you look, it's about how you feel when you look in the mirror. Many of our patients say they finally feel like the outside matches how they feel on the inside. The changes can be subtle, but the confidence boost is anything but.

Here's what facial balancing can help with:

  • Proportioned Features: Even small shifts—like adding volume to the cheeks or refining the chin—can help your features feel more aligned and naturally balanced.
  • Smoother, Youthful Appearance: By filling in areas that have lost volume and softening wrinkles, we can bring back that rested, refreshed look without overdoing it.
  • Defined Jawline, Chin, and Cheeks: Whether it's a little extra contour or a sharper jawline, these changes can help your face look more structured and sculpted.
  • Lifting Tired-Looking Eyes or Brows: A subtle lift in the right place can make your whole face look more awake and energized.
  • Softening Deep Lines or Loose Skin: We can help reduce the appearance of sagging skin or deep wrinkles, especially around the mouth, jawline, and neck.
  • Skin Tone and Texture: Lasers and microneedling treatments can even out discoloration, smooth rough patches, and give your skin that healthy glow you've been missing.

Is Facial Balancing Right for You?

Facial Balancing Candidates

This isn't just for one type of person. Whether you're noticing signs of aging, recovering from major weight loss, or just feel like your features could use a little more harmony, this might be a good fit.

During your consultation, we'll talk about your health history, goals, and which treatments make the most sense for you. We're here to create a plan that works for your face, your lifestyle, and your comfort level.

Let’s Talk Face-to-Face

Consultation and Preparation for Facial Balancing

We'll start with a close look at your face and a conversation about what you're hoping to change. Dr. Fortes will walk you through your options—whether it's Botox, fillers, surgery, or a mix—and build a plan around your goals.

You don't need to do much to prepare, but we'll give you some guidelines if you're having something more involved (like surgery or laser).

Here’s How It Works

Your Facial Balancing Procedure

Some treatments take just 20–30 minutes, and you're back to your day right after. Others, like surgery, take a bit longer and may involve local or general anesthesia. Either way, we'll make sure you're comfortable and informed every step of the way.

Healing, Results, and What’s Next

Facial Balancing Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

For injectables and lasers, expect a little swelling or redness, usually gone within a few days. Surgical treatments take more time, but you'll have full support and clear instructions for a smooth recovery.

Results depend on the treatment. Fillers and Botox show up quickly, while things like lasers and surgical lifts take longer but last longer, too. We'll also give you tips on how to take care of your skin and maintain your results.
