When most people think of dermal fillers, they picture plump lips or smooth cheeks—but fillers can do much more than that. Used strategically, dermal fillers can balance your entire face, enhancing your natural features without surgery.
At Dr. Janak Parikh’s practice in Houston, facial balancing with fillers is an art form. It’s not just about volume it’s about symmetry, proportion, and harmony. Let’s explore how this subtle, non-surgical approach can make a big difference in how you look and feel.
What Is Facial Balancing with Fillers?
Facial balancing is the process of enhancing or correcting facial proportions using injectable dermal fillers. The goal is to improve symmetry and create a more harmonious, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
It’s tailored to each individual but common areas treated include:
- Chin projection
- Jawline definition
- Cheek contouring
- Nose reshaping (non-surgical rhinoplasty)
- Lip enhancement
- Tear trough (under-eye hollows)
- Temple hollows
By restoring volume and contouring the face, fillers help bring everything into balance without the need for invasive surgery.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You might benefit from facial balancing with fillers if you:
- Feel like certain features are out of proportion (e.g. small chin, flat cheeks)
- Want a more structured jawline or youthful mid-face
- Want to avoid surgery or downtime
- Prefer subtle, natural-looking results
- Have mild volume loss or facial asymmetry
- Want to look refreshed without looking “done”
During your consultation at our Houston clinic, Dr. Parikh will assess your facial anatomy and develop a customized treatment plan.
What Types of Fillers Are Used?
We use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers from top brands like:
- Juvederm®
- Restylane®
- RHA® Collection
- Radiesse® (calcium-based, for deeper structure)
Different fillers are chosen based on the area and depth of injection:
Area | Filler Type |
Cheeks | Juvederm Voluma, RHA 4 |
Lips | Juvederm Ultra, RHA 2 |
Chin/Jawline | Radiesse, Volux |
Under Eyes | Restylane-L |
Nose Contouring | Juvederm Voluma |
What to Expect During Treatment

30–60 minutes, in-office
Anesthesia:
Topical numbing cream (optional); many fillers contain lidocaine
Process:

- Injection using needle or cannula

- More defined jawline

Results typically last:
- 6–12 months for lips or under eyes
- 12–24 months for cheeks, chin, and jawline (depending on filler type)
How Facial Balancing Helps Men & Women Differently
While the techniques are similar, the aesthetic goals differ:
- Women: Softer contours, higher cheekbones, heart-shaped face
- Men: Strong jawline, squared chin, straight nose
Dr. Parikh tailors each treatment based on gender, ethnicity, and facial structure—for a customized, refined result.
Safety & Expertise Matter
Facial balancing is both a science and an art. It requires:
- Deep understanding of anatomy
- Aesthetic judgment
- Precision technique
As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Parikh brings advanced surgical knowledge and a discerning eye to every non-surgical filler procedure. You’re in expert hands.

FAQs
Are dermal fillers permanent?
No, most fillers are temporary and gradually dissolve. Results last 6 to 24 months depending on area and product used.
Will I look fake or overfilled?
Not with Dr. Parikh. His approach is conservative and artistic—aiming for refined, natural results.
What’s the downtime?
Minimal. You might have mild swelling or bruising for 1–3 days. Most patients return to normal life the same day.
Can fillers fix an asymmetrical face?
Yes! Strategic placement of fillers can greatly improve facial balance and symmetry without surgery.
Is it painful?
Most patients find it very tolerable. Topical numbing and lidocaine in the filler help reduce discomfort.
