Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin - Winnetka & Chicago. This is a great question. To improve overall facial harmony, I recommend cheek filler and chin filler as foundational treatments. Cheek filler helps restore midface volume, creating lift and definition that can subtly rejuvenate the entire face. It also supports the under-eye area and softens nasolabial folds, enhancing balance between the upper and lower face. Chin filler, on the other hand, brings proportion to the lower third of the face—especially helpful if the chin is recessed or lacking projection—as it creates a more structured, contoured profile and balances facial features when viewed from the front and side. In addition to those, you might also consider a few other options depending on your aesthetic goals. Brow shaping or a subtle brow lift, either with Botox or threads, can help open the eye area and create a more refreshed, lifted look. If your lips have lost volume or definition with age, a conservative amount of lip filler can enhance shape and restore balance to the lower face without overfilling. Each of these procedures can be customized and combined for a natural, harmonious result. I hope this helps and best of luck!
Hi! You're already very well-balanced, but if you're looking to enhance overall facial harmony, there are a few options that could help subtly refine your features:Cheek filler or fat transfer: Great idea — adding volume to the midface can lift and contour, improving facial balance and enhancing the under-eye area.Chin enhancement: A small amount of filler can help elongate the lower face slightly and enhance profile harmony if desired.Brows: If you're concerned about brow position or asymmetry, a subtle Botox brow lift or temporal filler can create a more lifted and open look.Lips: You already have great lip shape. A touch of filler could enhance volume or definition if you're looking for a slightly fuller appearance, especially in the upper lip.A personalized in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or aesthetic provider is the best way to assess proportions and build a subtle, natural-looking treatment plan.
Yes, fat grafting to the chin can be a good alternative after filler removal, especially if you’ve experienced chronic inflammation with previous hyaluronic acid fillers. Unlike fillers, fat grafting uses your own tissue, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions or inflammation. That said, t...
Several thoughts on your question. First, your photo does not show your mid or upper face so it is impossible to give you a good answer to your question. Though you say you had buccal fat removal it really does not appear that this is the case. Your lower face needs slimming from the photo...
The best way to restore lost volume (aging, weight loss) is by means of fat grafting. There is some unpredictability in fat grafts take ( about 30% of injected fat volume will survive in average) but this is by far the best technique to restore volume in periorbital area. In some patients two to...
