Profile Balancing London Clinic

Profile balancing refers to the use of non-surgical aesthetic treatments to harmonise and enhance the facial features, ensuring they are in proportion with each other. This can involve procedures such as dermal fillers and other minimally invasive techniques to address imbalances and create a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing profile.

Profile balancing typically focuses on the key aspects of the face that affect overall harmony, including:

• Nose: Enhancing or reducing features through non-surgical rhinoplasty.
• Chin: Augmenting the chin for better proportion with the nose and jawline.
• Jawline: Contouring to create a defined jawline.
• Cheeks: Adding volume to the cheeks for a balanced appearance.
• Lips: Adjusting the size and shape of the lips to suit the overall facial structure.

To achieve a balanced profile, dermal fillers are injected into certain areas of the face. We only use FDA-approved fillers such as Restylane, Teoxane, Belotero, and Juvederm. Normally made of hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers are entirely biodegradable and can be removed using a reversing enzyme if necessary.

As profile balancing treatment uses dermal fillers, the downtime following treatment is minimal. We would not recommend engaging in any strenuous physical activity for the 24-48 hours following treatment, however most normal activities can be resumed immediately. We also recommend that you avoid applying makeup for around 12 hours after treatment and, if you are able, avoid flying for 24-48 hours.

Like all aesthetic procedures, profile balancing treatments carry some risks and potential side effects. These may include:

• Swelling and Bruising: Temporary and typically mild.
• Infection: Rare, but possible, and can be minimised with proper aftercare.
• Asymmetry: Although rare, it can occur and may require adjustments. Dr Owen Thomas ensures all procedures are performed with the highest standards of safety and care to minimise these risks

This will be entirely dependent on how much dermal filler is required to produce the desired appearance. We offer treatments that are designed to meet each person’s unique requirements and facial structure, and so we will calculate how much filler will be required for the treatment during your initial consultation.

Individuals who are concerned about facial asymmetry or disproportionate features and wish to achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance are suitable candidates. It is important for candidates to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the treatments.

Most profile balancing treatments involve minimal discomfort. Dr Owen Thomas uses advanced techniques and, where necessary, numbing agents to ensure patient comfort. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising after the treatments, but these effects are usually temporary.

During a consultation at Infinity Aesthetics, Dr Owen Thomas will assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend a customised treatment plan. This initial consultation is an opportunity to ask questions, understand the procedures, and set realistic expectations for the results.
