Balancing Every Beautiful Feature

Facial balancing at Micallef Plastic Surgery goes beyond correcting a single feature because we see your face as a unified whole. By strategically refining proportions and symmetry, we enhance your natural beauty while maintaining the individuality that makes you unique. Under the direction of Dr. Christopher J. Micallef, our team blends medical expertise, artistic vision, and advanced aesthetic technology to create timeless results.

What is Facial Balancing?

Facial balancing is a bespoke treatment approach designed to bring harmony to your features by improving symmetry, proportion, and contour. Rather than focusing on isolated areas, we evaluate the entire face as a single composition, adjusting multiple elements to work cohesively.

Areas commonly addressed include:

  • Forehead and temples
  • Cheeks and midface
  • Chin and jawline
  • Under-eye area
  • Skin texture, tone, and elasticity

Benefits of Facial Balancing

  • Expert-Led Care: Performed by medically trained injectors and advanced aesthetic specialists.
  • Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Improves multiple areas for a unified, youthful appearance.
  • Restored Volume: Addresses age-related hollowing in areas like the temples, midface, and under-eyes.
  • Refined Contours: Creates definition along the jawline, chin, and cheekbones for a more sculpted appearance.
  • Skin Quality Enhancement: May improve texture, tone, and elasticity when combined with collagen-stimulating treatments.
  • Non-Surgical Approach: Achieves noticeable results without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended recovery time.
  • Progressive, Maintainable Results: Allows for gradual transformation with adjustments over time for lasting harmony.

Customized Treatment Strategy

Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation, including detailed facial analysis and discussion of your goals. From there, we design a plan that may include:

  • Injectables: BOTOX®, Dysport®, dermal fillers, alloClae™ Adipose Filler.
  • Structural Refinement: Chin and jawline contouring for better facial proportions.
  • Collagen Stimulation: Ariessence™ Pure PDGF+, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), PRF (platelet-rich fibrin).
  • Skin Renewal: Chemical peels, dermaplaning, Genius® RF microneedling.
  • Laser and Light Therapy: HALO® hybrid fractional laser, BBL® Broadband Light, MOXI®, Forever Young BBL®, SkinTyte®, and more

What is the downtime after facial balancing?

Can facial balancing address asymmetry from past surgery or injury?

How is facial balancing different from getting fillers in one area?

Traditional filler treatments often focus on a single concern, like plumping the lips or adding cheek volume. Facial balancing takes a full-face approach, ensuring each enhancement complements surrounding features for cohesive, natural results.

How long does a facial balancing session take?

Depending on your personalized plan, a single session may last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. Some patients complete their treatments in one visit, while others space them over several sessions for a gradual, subtle progression.

Is facial balancing only for signs of aging?

Not at all. While many patients seek facial balancing for age-related changes, it’s also ideal for younger individuals who want to enhance symmetry, refine their jawline, or subtly adjust proportions for a more balanced look.

What is the downtime after facial balancing?

Downtime depends on the treatments performed. Injectable-only plans may require just 1–2 days of social downtime for swelling, however bruising may last up to 2 weeks.

Can facial balancing address asymmetry from past surgery or injury?

Yes, when performed by a medically trained injector with an anatomical understanding, facial balancing can often minimize the appearance of asymmetry caused by prior trauma, surgery, or congenital differences.
