Dermal Filler for Cheeks, Chin, and Jawline
Facial Balancing Before and After
Facial balancing uses dermal filler to bring the cheeks, chin, jawline, and profile into proportion with each other. Small changes in several areas often look more natural than a large change in one.
Results below include full facial balancing, chin and jawline filler, and filler dissolving for patients correcting work done elsewhere. Every treatment was performed in our North Raleigh office.

What is facial balancing?
Facial balancing looks at the whole face instead of one feature. With age, the cheeks, chin, jawline, and lips lose support at different rates, and the proportions between them change.
How we plan facial balancing
Dermal filler is placed in small amounts across several areas, planned against the nose, lips, and profile, so the result looks natural from every angle. Choose an area above to see what it is and how we treat it.
What to know about facial balancing results
Facial balancing uses dermal filler where the face needs support: mid-face lift in the cheeks, projection and contour in the chin, and definition along the jawline. Full-face plans often run 4 to 6 syringes, spread across multiple visits.
You see improvement right away and the final look at 2 weeks. How long it lasts depends on the product and area, from 12 to 18 months for smile lines to up to 2 years for cheeks and chin. Mild swelling for 1 to 5 days and possible bruising are normal.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible. If something is not right, hyaluronidase dissolves HA filler within 24 to 48 hours, and we also dissolve other providers' work when asked.
Your filler timeline

Facial balancing: common questions
Not if placed conservatively and well. The "done" look comes from overfilling, wrong product choice, or ignoring how a face moves.
