Facial Balancing
in San Diego
Facial balancing is a full-face volumizer plan, not a single area. Dermatologist-trained SOM providers use hyaluronic-acid volumizer across the cheeks, chin, jaw, lips, and nose to restore proportion and harmony. The goal is a balanced, natural you, not a changed face. Your plan is mapped in consultation.

Real facial balancing patients.
Every case is documented by the SOM team. Facial balancing harmonizes the whole face, best seen front-on and in profile.
Harmony across the whole face.
Facial balancing treats the face as one connected structure. Instead of one area, a dermatologist-trained provider maps how the cheeks, chin, jaw, lips, and nose relate, then adds HA filler where it improves overall proportion, profile, and symmetry.
The result is subtle, you look more balanced and refreshed, not done. It is planned conservatively and staged over visits when needed. HA filler can be dissolved if you ever want to adjust.

How to prep for facial balancing
Facial balancing may treat several areas in one visit, so pausing blood thinners (ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 48 hours and alcohol for 24 hours helps limit bruising overall. Arrive with clean skin and bring photos of looks you like.
• Pause blood thinners ~48h before
• No alcohol 24h prior
• Clean skin, no makeup
• Bring reference photos
• Plan a light social schedule after
What happens during facial balancing
Facial balancing may take 45 to 60 minutes since several areas are treated. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider maps proportions, numbs, then places hyaluronic-acid filler across lips, cheeks, chin, or jaw as your plan calls for. You will feel pressure at each site and can leave after.
• 45–60 minute visit
• Proportions mapped first
• Several areas treated
• Pressure at each site
• Leave after with some swelling
Facial balancing aftercare
Because multiple areas are treated, expect swelling and possible bruising for several days; cold compresses and elevation help. Avoid strenuous exercise, heat, and facials for 24 to 48 hours. The full result settles over about 2 weeks and lasts 12 months or more.
• Swelling/bruising several days
• Cold compress and elevation
• No strenuous exercise/heat 24–48h
• Skip facials briefly
• Settles ~2 weeks, lasts 12+ months
Is facial balancing safe, and what to avoid after?
✓ Do
• Stay upright for 4 hours after treatment
• Apply ice gently to treated areas
• Be gentle with your face the first day
• Let swelling settle over 1 to 2 weeks
• Return for planned next steps as mapped
• Call us right away with any unusual symptoms
✗ Don't
• Do not rub or massage treated areas for 24 hours
• No saunas, hot yoga, or intense exercise for 24 hours
• No alcohol for 24 hours
• Avoid dental work for about two weeks
• Do not rush, balancing is built over visits
