At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, the ideal candidate for facial balancing is someone in good overall health who has realistic expectations about their aesthetic journey. If you’ve noticed asymmetries or imbalances in your facial features—such as uneven cheeks, a chin that feels too small, or a nose that doesn’t quite harmonize with your other features—our facial balancing treatments may be right for you.
These procedures are best suited for adults who wish to enhance their natural beauty, rather than dramatically alter their appearance. We believe in subtle enhancements that bring out your best features and restore facial harmony. Our team encourages all candidates to have a clear understanding of the process and to pursue treatment for personal reasons, not due to outside pressures.
Ideal candidates typically have good skin quality and are free from active infections or untreated medical conditions, which helps ensure optimal results. During your consultation at Pacific Coast Aesthetics, our experienced providers will carefully assess your individual needs and goals, answer your questions, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored just for you.
At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we specialize in advanced facial balancing techniques to help our clients achieve natural-looking harmony and symmetry. Facial balancing is a cornerstone of modern aesthetic medicine, focusing on restoring proportion and equilibrium to the features of the face. One area where this expertise can be especially helpful is in addressing a crooked smile.
A crooked smile can have many underlying causes, including muscle asymmetry, nerve weakness or palsy, dental concerns, or differences in the facial bones or soft tissue. Our experienced providers carefully evaluate each client to understand the unique factors contributing to their smile asymmetry.
For those whose crooked smile is related to uneven muscle activity or volume loss, we offer nonsurgical treatments that can help. Our skilled team utilizes dermal fillers to restore volume in areas that appear sunken or uneven and neuromodulators such as Botox to relax overactive muscles that may be pulling the smile off-center. With a precise and artistic approach, we are able to create a more symmetrical and balanced appearance, often resulting in a more aligned and confident smile.
However, we also recognize that not every crooked smile can be corrected with aesthetic treatments alone. If your concerns stem from underlying dental issues, structural differences, or nerve-related conditions, our team will work closely with you—and, if necessary, refer you to trusted specialists—to ensure you receive comprehensive care. Our priority is always your safety and satisfaction, which is why every treatment at Pacific Coast Aesthetics is personalized to your unique anatomy and goals.
At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we believe that facial balancing isn’t just for older adults. While many people turn to facial balancing treatments—such as dermal fillers or other non-surgical procedures—to address age-related changes like volume loss or sagging, these techniques are equally popular among younger individuals.
For our younger patients, facial balancing is often used to subtly enhance natural features, improve facial symmetry, or address inherent asymmetries rather than simply reversing signs of aging. For example, individuals in their twenties or thirties may seek subtle enhancements to the chin, lips, or cheeks to create a more harmonious and proportional facial profile. Facial balancing can also help correct congenital or developmental asymmetries that have nothing to do with aging.
Our experienced medical professionals take the time to carefully assess your unique facial anatomy and discuss your personal aesthetic goals—no matter your age. We develop customized treatment plans designed to achieve beautifully balanced, natural-looking results. Whether you’re looking to enhance your features or restore youthful contours, facial balancing offers a versatile solution for adults of all ages who desire facial harmony and confidence.
We specialize in facial balancing—a highly sought-after approach designed to create greater harmony among your facial features. Whether you are looking for subtle, non-surgical enhancements or a more permanent transformation, our experienced team offers customized solutions to address concerns such as a recessed (or retruded) chin.
A recessed chin occurs when the chin sits further back relative to the lips and nose, disrupting the natural balance of your facial profile. We assess your unique anatomy to develop a tailored treatment plan that can restore facial harmony. This may involve enhancing the chin directly or making proportional adjustments to other facial features, such as the cheeks, jawline, or lips.
• Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation: For patients seeking a minimally invasive solution, our skilled injectors use advanced dermal fillers to sculpt and define the chin and jawline. This technique delivers immediate improvement with little to no downtime, and our team ensures every treatment is individualized to your aesthetic goals. While results are temporary—typically lasting several months to a year—this option allows you to experience the benefits of facial balancing without surgery.
• Surgical Facial Balancing Options: If you desire a longer-lasting result, Pacific Coast Aesthetics also offers surgical options such as chin implants. Our providers may sometimes recommend combining chin augmentation with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty, to achieve the most balanced and natural-looking outcome.
We believe that every patient deserves a personalized approach. During your comprehensive consultation, our experts will evaluate your facial structure and discuss the most effective treatment options to meet your needs. We are committed to setting realistic expectations and helping you achieve your desired aesthetic with both safety and artistry.
