Most filler treatments target one area at a time: cheeks, lips, under-eyes. Full Facial Balancing takes a different approach. Instead of treating isolated features, the provider maps the entire face as a proportional system and places filler strategically across multiple zones to improve overall harmony and symmetry.
Two Chicks Aesthetics offers Full Facial Balancing as a 60-minute treatment. It is the practice’s most comprehensive injectable service. This post explains what is actually involved, who the right candidate is, and how it compares to a lighter-tier option for patients who are not ready for a full treatment.
What Does “Balancing” Actually Mean?
Facial balance refers to the proportional relationship between the upper, mid, and lower face. As the face ages, volume loss does not happen evenly. Most people lose volume first in the midface (cheeks, temples) and progressively in other zones. This uneven loss changes the proportional relationships between facial thirds and contributes to a drawn or tired appearance that is not about individual lines or features but about the overall architecture of the face.
Facial balancing with dermal filler aims to restore those proportional relationships rather than simply adding volume to whatever the patient points at. It requires a provider who understands facial anatomy at a structural level and who can assess the face in three dimensions rather than treating it as a two-dimensional surface.
What Happens During the Appointment
Full Facial Balancing at Two Chicks Aesthetics is a 60-minute appointment. Before treatment, your provider photographs your face from multiple angles, marks anatomical landmarks, and maps a treatment plan specific to your bone structure and volume distribution.
Hyaluronic acid filler is then placed in a sequence of zones determined by the balancing plan. The specific areas treated depend entirely on your anatomy. Common zones include the cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, and perioral area, but the selection is never predetermined. It is based on your face.
All pricing for Full Facial Balancing is discussed at your $50 Aesthetic Consultation before any treatment is scheduled.
Who Is Full Facial Balancing For?
The ideal candidate for Full Facial Balancing is someone who has noticed that their face has changed in a diffuse way they cannot pin on one specific feature. They look at photos and feel like something is off proportionally without being able to identify exactly what. They have often already tried treating one area and felt that the result looked good in isolation but did not address the overall appearance.
Full Facial Balancing is also appropriate for patients who want to address volume loss comprehensively at one appointment rather than building incrementally over many visits.
It is not the right starting point for a patient who has never had filler, is uncertain about the commitment, or wants to start conservatively. Those patients are better served by a targeted treatment and a follow-up plan.
Combination Filler and Tox: A Lighter-Tier Option
For patients who want a multi-treatment approach but are not ready for Full Facial Balancing, Two Chicks Aesthetics also offers Combination Filler and Tox in a 45-minute appointment. This treatment addresses both muscle-driven lines with a wrinkle relaxer and one or two filler areas in the same session.
Combination Filler and Tox is a good option for patients at an earlier stage of volume loss who want to maintain their results proactively, or for established patients who want to cover multiple concerns in a single visit. Pricing is covered at your consultation.
What to Expect After Full Facial Balancing
- Initial swelling is normal and expected. The face may look slightly overfull for the first 24 to 72 hours.
- Bruising is possible, especially in more vascular treatment zones. Arnica and cold compresses can help.
- Final results are visible at two weeks, once all swelling has fully resolved.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
- A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled at two weeks to assess the settled result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Full Facial Balancing the same as a liquid facelift?
The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but Full Facial Balancing at Two Chicks is specifically a proportional, anatomy-driven approach to filler placement across multiple zones. It is not a procedure that claims to replicate surgical results. The goal is structural restoration and improved harmony, not a dramatic transformation.
How long do Full Facial Balancing results last?
Duration depends on which filler products are used, the treatment zones, and your individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers used for facial balancing typically last 12 to 18 months in most treatment zones, with some areas lasting longer. Your provider will discuss realistic timelines at your consultation.
Can I get Full Facial Balancing if I have had filler before with a different provider?
Patients with existing filler may be candidates, but prior filler history is carefully assessed at your consultation. In some cases, Filler Dissolver is recommended before beginning a balancing plan to ensure the provider is working with a known baseline. Your provider will advise based on what is found at assessment.
What is the difference between Full Facial Balancing and just getting cheek filler?
Cheek filler treats one zone. Full Facial Balancing uses cheeks as one reference point in a whole-face proportional plan. Adding volume to one zone without addressing adjacent zones can create imbalance in some patients. The balancing approach is for patients who want a cohesive result rather than a feature-specific correction.
