What You Need to Know About Facial Balancing in San Antonio

Written by PREEMA | Apr 25, 2025 1:00:00 PM

In the world of modern aesthetics, beauty is no longer about realizing perfection—it’s about achieving harmony. Facial balancing is an advanced, non-surgical approach that focuses on enhancing your natural features by restoring proportion, symmetry, and alignment across your face. Whether you want to refine your profile or subtly lift certain features, facial balancing with fillers offers a transformative yet natural-looking result.

“True beauty isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about creating harmony that allows your natural features to shine,” Amanda Hernandez, FNP-C, PREEMA’s Physician Assistant Injector, explains. “Facial balancing is one of the most powerful ways we help clients feel more aligned with how they see themselves.” 

Our expert San Antonio aesthetic providers at PREEMA  combine medical precision with an artistic eye to deliver personalized results that are refined, balanced, and uniquely yours.

 

What is Facial Balancing?

Facial balancing is a customized aesthetic treatment that uses dermal fillers such as Voluma and Volbella and neuromodulators like Botox to create symmetry and proportion across the entire face. It addresses structural imbalances and enhances facial harmony without surgery.

This technique doesn’t focus on a single feature; instead, it takes a holistic approach, considering the face as a whole. The goal is to enhance areas that may be underdeveloped or overshadowed and to subtly shift the visual balance for a naturally lifted, refreshed look.

How we use each product in facial balancing depends on the goal you want to achieve. Voluma restores lost volume in the face to provide a lifting effect, while Volbella offers subtle lip enhancement and smoothing of the skin around the mouth. Both techniques can work in harmony to provide an aesthetically pleasing look you’ll love.

 

What Areas Does Facial Balancing Address? 

Full facial balancing can involve several key facial zones, depending on your individual goals. We personalize aesthetic facial balancing to complement your bone structure, facial dynamics, and long-term beauty goals.

Commonly treated areas include:

  • Jawline and chin, to create definition and improve side profile
  • Cheeks, to restore volume and lift the midface
  • Temples, to smooth hollows and achieve a more youthful contour
  • Nose, to improve the profile with non-surgical adjustments
  • Lips, to balance proportions with surrounding features
  • Forehead and brow, often treated with Botox to improve symmetry

 

The Benefits of Facial Balancing with Fillers

Choosing facial balancing with dermal fillers offers a range of benefits that go beyond aesthetics:

  • Non-surgical, with minimal downtime
  • Customizable results tailored to your unique anatomy
  • Immediate improvement in facial harmony and proportion
  • Restores youthful balance by addressing volume loss
  • Subtle, natural-looking enhancements without overcorrection

Many clients find that even small, strategic adjustments can significantly impact their overall appearance and confidence.

“Our approach at PREEMA is grounded in restraint and refinement. Facial balancing focuses on doing just enough to elevate your natural beauty,” says Amanda.

 

What to Expect With Facial Balancing 

During your appointment for facial balancing injections, you’ll begin with a thorough consultation. Our providers will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and design a treatment plan that aligns with your desired outcome.

The procedure itself typically involves precise injections of dermal filler and/or Botox in targeted areas. Treatment time varies based on the complexity of the plan but generally ranges from 30 to 60 minutes. Discomfort is minimal, and numbing agents are used to ensure a comfortable experience.

 

How Long Does Facial Balancing Filler Last? 

Results from facial balancing with fillers are visible immediately and can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months, depending on the areas treated, the type of filler used, and your individual metabolism. Botox results typically last 3–4 months and can be used in conjunction to refine muscle movement and create optimal symmetry.

Routine maintenance sessions are recommended to preserve results and allow for subtle adjustments as your facial structure naturally changes over time.

 

Recovery and Aftercare Tips 

Recovery from non-surgical facial balancing is generally quick and manageable. Some clients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few days.

To ensure optimal results, we recommend:
  • Avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours
  • Keeping the treated areas clean and makeup-free immediately post-treatment
  • Applying cold compresses to reduce swelling
  • Sleeping on your back with your head elevated the first night
  • Following all personalized aftercare instructions provided during your visit
