Bringing Your Features Into Harmony
If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it," facial balancing might be what you've been looking for. At Paul F. Fortes MD Plastic Surgery in Houston, we offer a custom approach to help your features feel more in sync, with results that still look like you, just more refreshed.
Dr. Fortes has performed over 10,000 surgeries and has been helping patients feel their best for more than 25 years. From injectables to surgical procedures and laser treatments, everything we do is tailored to your face, your goals, and your version of feeling confident.
Balance Starts Here
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.
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.
Explore Dermal FillersÂIf 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.
Explore BotoxWhen 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.
Explore Facelift SurgeryA 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.
Explore Brow LiftsIf 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.
Explore Neck LiftsAlso 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.
Explore BlepharoplastyA 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."
Explore Chin AugmentationThis 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.
Explore Buccal Fat RemovalThis 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.
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.
This light-based treatment targets sun damage, redness, and uneven tone. It's great for keeping your skin looking clear, bright, and, yes, youthful.
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 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.
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
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:
