Facial profile balancing isn't just another aesthetic trend: it's a sophisticated approach to addressing facial asymmetries, age-related volume loss, and structural imbalances that affect how we see ourselves and how others perceive us. Whether you're dealing with a weak chin, flat cheeks, asymmetrical facial features, or considering surgical intervention, understanding the power of strategic injectable treatments can transform not just your appearance but your overall well-being and confidence.
What Exactly Is Facial Profile Balancing and How Is It Different?
Facial profile balancing represents the pinnacle of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, focusing on creating harmony between all facial features when viewed from every angle. Unlike traditional approaches that target individual concerns in isolation, Kati's comprehensive facial balancing approach considers the face as a unified canvas where each feature must complement and enhance the others.
The human eye is naturally drawn to symmetry and proportion- evolutionary traits that signal health and vitality. When facial features are in harmony, we unconsciously perceive greater beauty and attractiveness. This isn't about conforming to unrealistic beauty standards; it's about revealing your most polished, balanced version while maintaining your unique identity and natural expressions.
Why Does My Face Look Unbalanced? Understanding the Science
Facial attractiveness follows a mathematical principle known as the "golden ratio" or divine proportions. In her medical aesthetics practice, Kati evaluates facial thirds, the relationship between features, and how aging or natural asymmetries disrupt these harmonious proportions. The upper third (forehead to brow), middle third (brow to base of nose), and lower third (base of nose to chin) should ideally be equal in height, while the width relationships between eyes, nose, and mouth follow specific ratios.
When these proportions are disrupted, whether through genetics, aging, or trauma, strategic injectable treatments can restore balance without surgical intervention. This scientific foundation guides every treatment plan Kati develops, ensuring results that appear naturally beautiful rather than obviously enhanced.

What Issues Does Facial Balancing Address?
Throughout her career, Kati has helped thousands of women (and men, too) address various facial concerns that impact overall harmony and confidence. Our team has been indlvidually and corporately by Kati and industry experts to address the following:
Will People Notice I've Had Work Done? What About Natural-Looking Results?
Weak Chin and Jawline
A recessed or weak chin can make the nose appear larger and create an imbalanced profile. Using advanced dermal filler techniques, Kati can project the chin forward, define the jawline, and create better proportion between the upper and lower face. This non-surgical chin augmentation often eliminates the need for a surgical chin implant, while providing immediate, natural-looking results.
Over-Developed Jaw (Masseter Hypertrophy):
Some women develop enlarged jaw muscles from teeth grinding or clenching, creating a masculine or overly square appearance. Kati uses strategic Botox Cosmetic injections into the masseter muscles to slim the jawline, creating a more feminine, heart-shaped face contour while reducing tension and grinding habits.
Asymmetrical Facial Features:
Natural facial asymmetries become more pronounced with age. Whether it's uneven eyebrows, asymmetrical lips, or imbalanced cheek projection, Kati employs precise injectable techniques to restore symmetry while maintaining natural expressions and movements.
Am I Too Old For Facial Balancing? What About Age-Related Changes?
Flat or Hollow Cheeks
As we age, we lose facial fat and bone density, particularly in the midface region. This creates a flat, tired appearance and contributes to the formation of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Our strategic placement of dermal fillers, biostimulators, and Botox can restore youthful cheek projection, lift the midface, and create a natural, refreshed appearance.
Temple and Under-Eye Hollowing
Volume loss in the temples creates a gaunt appearance, while under-eye hollowing can make you look perpetually tired. These often-overlooked areas significantly impact overall facial balance. Our nurse injectors use specialized techniques to restore volume in these delicate areas, creating a more youthful, rested appearance.
Pre-Jowling and Lower Face Laxity
Early signs of jowling and skin laxity along the jawline don't always require surgical intervention. Our advanced filler techniques can restore the structural support that prevents sagging, while biostimulators stimulate collagen production to improve skin quality and firmness.
Injectables by Awaken
What Types of Injectables Will You Need? Understanding Your Options-
Awaken's approach combines three primary categories of injectables, each serving specific purposes in creating facial balance:
Neuromodulators (Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau) Botulinum Toxin
We offer the full spectrum of FDA-approved neuromodulators, including Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. While all work by gently relaxing targeted muscles, each has unique properties in terms of onset, diffusion, and longevity. This enables us to tailor treatment to each patient, ensuring results that are both effective and aligned with your goals. These precisely placed cosmetic injections relax overactive muscles to:
-Smooth dynamic wrinkles and expression lines
-Lift asymmetrical eyebrows for better symmetry
-Slim an over-developed jawline
-Prevent deepening of existing lines
-Create subtle eyebrow arches and eye-opening effects
The Awaken Medical Aesthetics Philosophy: We don’t believe there’s one “best” neuromodulator. Instead, she will match the right product to your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals, always prioritizing natural, balanced results.
Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid Fillers)
Strategic soft tissue filler placement provides immediate volume and contouring to:
-Restore cheek projection and midface volume
-Define jawline and chin for better profile balance and symmetry
-Enhance lip proportion without creating an overdone appearance
-Smooth nasolabial folds and marionette lines
-Address under-eye hollowing and tear trough deformities
-Restore temple volume for a more youthful appearance
Our dermal filler portfolio includes: Juvederm Volux, Volbella, and Skinvive; Restylane Dermal Fillers; Belotero Balance and Hyperdilute Radiesse
The Awaken Medical Aesthetics Philosophy: HA fillers are incredibly versatile tools, but results depend on artistry and placement. Your injector will select the right filler density and formula for each area to ensure smooth transitions, balanced proportions, and a natural, never “overfilled” look.
Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, Other Collagen-Stimulating Injectables)
These advanced treatments work over time to:
-Stimulate natural collagen production for long-lasting results
-Improve skin quality and texture from within
-Restore structural support that prevents future sagging
-Create gradual, natural-looking volume restoration
-Enhance skin thickness and firmness in areas of laxity

The Awaken Medical Aesthetics Philosophy: Biostimulators are ideal for patients seeking gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation with longevity. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, they don’t immediately “fill." They train your skin to rebuild its own collagen, strengthening structure, improving texture, and delaying the need for surgical intervention.

This comprehensive evaluation allows our team to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns while enhancing overall facial harmony.
How Do We Avoid The "Overdone" Look Everyone Is Worried About?
The key to our successful facial balancing lies in the artistry of subtle enhancement. Our goal is never to create an obviously "done" appearance, but rather to reveal your most elegant, harmonious features. This requires:
Precise Anatomical Knowledge: Our in-depth understanding of the complex interplay of facial muscles, fat compartments, and aging patterns allows for strategic placement that looks natural and moves naturally with your expressions.
Conservative Approach: We believe in building results gradually, allowing tissues to adapt and settle before adding additional volume or making further adjustments. This prevents the overfilled, artificial appearance that can result from aggressive treatment approaches.
Artistic Eye: Our facial balancing requires an aesthetic sensibility that goes beyond technical skill. She considers factors like lighting, angles, and how your features interact in motion, not just static improvement.

Should You Consider Surgery Instead? How Does This Compare to a Facelift?
Many women considering facial balancing have also contemplated surgical options like mini facelifts, thread lifts, or surgical implants. While surgery certainly has its place in facial rejuvenation, our non-surgical facial balancing approach, creatied by Kati Howard, MSN, FNP-C, offers several distinct advantages:
Can You Really Avoid Downtime? What's Recovery Like?
Unlike plastic surgery, which requires weeks of recovery, our facial balancing injectable treatments allow you to return to your normal activities immediately. While some minor swelling or bruising may occur, most patients can resume work and social activities within 24-48 hours.
Will It Look Natural Right Away or Take Time?
Your injectable treatments can be performed in stages, allowing for gradual improvement that looks natural to friends and colleagues. This eliminates the dramatic change that can accompany surgical procedures.
What If You Don't Like the Results? Can They Be Changed?
Most dermal fillers can be dissolved if needed, and all injectable results are temporary, allowing for adjustments as your face changes over time. This flexibility is impossible with surgical procedures.
How Much Will Facial Balancing Cost Over Time?
While surgical procedures require significant upfront investment with potential revision costs, dermal filler injections can be maintained with periodic touch-ups that fit various budgets and timelines.
Is This Safe? What Are the Risks Compared to Surgery?
Non-surgical treatments carry significantly lower risks than surgery, with complications being rare and typically minor when performed by experienced nurse practitioners and injectors.
What Should You Expect from Start to Finish?
What Happens During Your First Visit with Us?
During your comprehensive consultation, Our injectors will evaluate your concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and explain how facial balancing can address your specific needs. This educational process ensures you understand both the possibilities and limitations of non-surgical treatment.
How Many Appointments Will You Need? What's the Timeline?
Facial balancing often involves multiple treatments spaced over several months to achieve optimal results. Our injectors will outline a treatment timeline that allows for proper tissue integration and natural-looking progression of improvements.
Will the Injections Hurt? What's the Actual Treatment Like?
Most injection appointments with our nurse injectors take 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. They'll use advanced numbing techniques to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Precise injection techniques minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of bruising or swelling.
When Will You See Results and How Long Do They Last?
Many patients see immediate improvement with dermal fillers, while biostimulators work gradually over several months. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
