One of the first questions that people ask when considering facial balancing is actually quite difficult to answer with a definitive number: how many treatments will I actually need?
The truth is that there isn’t a standard facial balancing plan that works for everyone. One person may achieve their desired result by treating two areas, where another person may benefit from a more comprehensive approach involving more than this. It all comes down to your facial structure, proportions, and what your goals are for this treatment.
This is because facial balancing is not a single treatment, but an approach that considers how different areas of the face work together.
It Starts With Looking At The Whole Face
Rather than focusing solely on one feature, a facial balancing consultation will look at the overall relationship between different parts of your face. For example, someone may come in wanting fuller lips, but during their consultation it might be highlighted that subtle changes in other parts of the face could create more harmony. At the same time, someone else may only need treatment in a single, or a smaller number of areas to get the look that they want.
There is also no rule that says the more treatments you have, you’re guaranteed automatic better results. A personalised plan will focus on your face as a whole, rather than trying to target every possible area.
Which Treatments Can Be Included?
A facial balancing plan can include different non-surgical treatments depending on the individual. Dermal fillers are often used to add volume, improve definition, and enhance particular features. Some of the treatments that could be included on a plan are as follows:
Lip Fillers
Lip fillers may be used to enhance the shape, volume, or proportions of the lips. However, the lips are only one part of the overall picture, which is why it’s often considered alongside areas like the chin and cheeks.
Cheek Filler
Cheek filler can add or restore volume to your cheeks and mid face area. For some people, this helps to create more balance between the upper, middle, and lower portions of their face.
Chin Filler
A chin can have a pretty big impact on a person’s facial profile and their facial proportions. Chin filler may be offered where balance or more definition is wanted.
Jaw Filler
Jaw filler is another option for those who want to add some definition to their lower face.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
For some patients, non-surgical rhinoplasty may also be talked about as part of facial balancing. This treatment uses carefully placed dermal fillers to change the appearance of the nose without using surgery.
It’s true that not all patients are going to need all of these treatments though, and this can be discussed with your professional.
Personal To You
Your plan should be personal to you, as there is no magic number when it comes to facial balancing. You might need a treatment in one area, or a combination of two, three, four areas. Someone else’s plan will look completely different to yours, but that’s okay.
The important thing is that you speak to an experienced practitioner and have a thorough consultation with them to discuss what you want.
