Achieve True Harmony With Injectables and Surgery

Facial balancing is the process of improving harmony and proportion across your entire face rather than focusing on a single feature. Your forehead, brows, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips, jawline, and chin all influence one another, so subtle changes in one area can affect how the rest of your face appears. The goal is to create balance while preserving what makes you uniquely you.

Many practices rely solely on injectables for facial balancing, but fillers and neuromodulators cannot correct every aesthetic concern. While they can restore facial volume, soften wrinkles, and refine contours, they cannot remove excess skin, tighten underlying tissues, reposition facial structures, or correct a drooping nasal tip or significant asymmetry. Relying only on injectables may also require larger volumes to compensate for concerns better addressed surgically.

Dr. DeRosa takes a comprehensive approach to facial balancing by considering both nonsurgical and surgical solutions. Depending on your unique anatomy and goals, your treatment plan may combine injectables with procedures like a mini facelift, mini neck lift, temporal brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, submental liposuction, or rhinoplasty. This individualized approach creates true facial harmony, helping you look truly refreshed and balanced.

Non-Surgical Components of Facial Balancing

Injectables play an important role in facial balancing by restoring volume, refining contours, softening muscle activity, and enhancing natural proportions without surgery or extensive downtime. When used strategically, they can complement your anatomy and create subtle improvements that work in harmony with your overall appearance.

Depending on your anatomy and goals, your treatment plan may include:

  • Neuromodulators to relax targeted facial muscles and soften dynamic wrinkles
  • Dermal fillers to restore facial volume and improve overall proportions
  • Biostimulators to stimulate natural collagen production

Buccal Fat Removal & Repositioning

Balanced facial contours depend not only on the position of the cheeks but also on the volume within them. For some patients, excess buccal fat creates fullness in the lower face that can soften natural definition, making surgical buccal fat removal an effective option for enhancing the cheeks and jawline. Others may benefit from buccal fat repositioning during facial rejuvenation surgery to restore youthful volume where it has diminished over time. As part of a comprehensive facial balancing plan, Dr. DeRosa carefully evaluates your facial anatomy to determine whether buccal fat removal or repositioning can improve overall facial harmony while maintaining natural-looking results.

Surgical Components of Facial Balancing

Surgery can address structural concerns that injectables alone cannot, making it an important part of true facial balancing for many patients. By repositioning tissues, refining facial features, and removing visual distractions, surgical procedures can create more comprehensive, long-lasting facial harmony while preserving your natural appearance.

Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, Dr. DeRosa may recommend:

  • Mini facelift to lift jowls and redefine the lower face and jawline
  • Mini neck lift to improve neck and jawline contours
  • Full facelift to lift jowls, redefine the lower and midface, as well as neck
  • Temporal brow lift to elevate the outer brows and open the eyes
  • Full brow lift to elevate both the outer and inner brows and open the eyes
  • Upper blepharoplasty to remove excess upper eyelid skin
  • Lower blepharoplasty to remove excess lower eyelid skin and eye bags
  • Submental liposuction to refine the area beneath the chin
  • Chin implant to provide projection and contour of the chin
  • Rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty to improve nasal balance and facial proportions
