Facial balancing is the practice of using fillers and other injectables to create symmetry and enhance the proportions of a patient's face. It's a non-surgical way to address results of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss, or to perfect features like puffy under-eye circles or uneven lips and eyebrows.
People all over the globe are turning to tox for aesthetic purposes. According to the University of California San Francisco, more than 11 million people worldwide have used Botox. While many joke about the unnatural and rigid effects the tox can have on the face, tox injected by experienced providers can be quite natural and provide balance in facial features.
The key is going to someone who can help you find balance between fillers and tox without going overboard.
There are usually two components to facial balancing: tox and dermal fillers. The tox works to smooth wrinkles and lines by blocking nerve signals that make the muscles contract. Without constant contractions, your skin stays smooth and youthful looking.
Dermal fillers are injected to add volume and fullness to specific areas of the face. In terms of filler, many people think lip filler is the only option — but adding injectables to your chin, under-eye area, jawline, and more can help balance a face.
In addition to tox and dermal fillers, you can choose to get Sculptra treatments and PRF. Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that gradually increases facial volume. Patients love this treatment because it achieves natural looking and long lasting results.
PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is used for many ailments in the medical field. Trilogy uses it to rejuvenate skin, promote hair growth and balance facial features. The serum is actually derived from your own blood and contains cytokines, fibrin matrix and cells that work to promote healing and rejuvination. One 2023 study found a "noticeable improvement in deep, fine, and small wrinkles, periocular hyperpigmentation, and overall skin freshness of the injection site" using PRF.
A skilled and experienced injector should analyze your unique facial features and create a customized treatment plan that can include a combination of tox and fillers to achieve optimal facial balance. It's a procedure that can truly be tailored to anyone's distinctive looks and preferences.
Facial balancing is an approach we use here at Trilogy Medical Center to ensure that we achieve the most natural aesthetic outcome! Most of us want to look and feel our best for every stage of life and utilizing a multi-modality approach with facial balancing guarantees that.

Another reason that facial balancing is gaining popularity is for its effectiveness without undergoing surgery. For example, maybe you always wanted your nose surgically altered, only to realize that a short appointment where filler is injected into that bump in your nose solves your lifelong insecurity.
It's important to note that perfect symmetry isn't the true goal — after all, most people's qualities are what makes them unique. Nobody wants to look too perfect, as it can come across as robotic. Highlighting your best features and leveling out your insecurities should be the goal.
Who is a candidate for facial balancing?
It's important to consult with licensed, skilled injectors like the ones at Trilogy Medical Center before undergoing any treatment. In an article for Elle Magazine, board-certified dermatologist Sheila Farhang says, "While any adult is suited for facial balancing with filler once they have completely grown into their natural genetic features, post-puberty—facial balancing is usually most effective for patients starting to see the aging process in their 30s up until their 80s."
Anyone with mild to moderate facial asymmetry is a good candidate for facial balancing. Other concerns that can be improved by the procedure include: age-related volume loss, facial imbalances such as a weak chin or jawline, and non-surgical rhinoplasty or lip enhancement.
