✨ Using Volume to Lengthen & Balance the Face
As we age (or simply due to genetics), the face can look shorter, heavier, or less defined — especially through the mid and lower face. Strategic placement of dermal fillers or biostimulatory products like Radiesse can subtly restore structure and improve overall proportions.
Here’s how:
▪️ Midface support
Adding structure to the cheeks (not just “plumping”) lifts and supports the face vertically. This creates a gentle elongation effect and reduces heaviness around the lower face.
▪️ Chin projection
A slightly recessed chin can make the face appear rounder or shorter. Enhancing chin projection improves profile balance and visually lengthens the lower third of the face.
▪️ Jawline definition
Creating a cleaner jawline edge helps slim the lower face and improves the transition from face to neck — another key factor in a more sculpted, elongated appearance.
The key is structure, not size. When done correctly, the goal isn’t to look “filled” — it’s to look balanced, rested, and naturally refined. Most people won’t notice you had anything done… they’ll just think you look great.

💉 HA Filler vs. Radiesse — What’s the Difference?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
• Made of a substance naturally found in the body
• Great for precise shaping and contouring
• Soft to firm options depending on area treated
• Reversible if needed
• Primarily adds immediate volume
Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)
• A thicker, more structural product
• Provides instant support and stimulates your own collagen over time
• Excellent for areas needing lift and definition (jawline, chin, cheeks)
• Not designed to be dissolved like HA filler
• Works as both a filler and a collagen builder
