Have you ever seen a face that looks perfectly smooth but somehow unnatural? Round, puffy, and expressionless? In aesthetic medicine, we call this the "Steamed Bun Face."
How does it happen?
- Adding volume to the wrong anatomical layers
- Layering new filler over old, un-dissolved filler
- Placing heavy volume without first establishing deep structural support
The solution isn't more filler. The solution is subtraction and restructuring:
1. Dissolve the accumulated product
2. Restore deep bone-level support (using biostimulators like Radiesse)
3. Re-lift the tissue (using threads or energy devices)
Less is often more. Structure is always more important than volume.
