Facial Balancing Before and After Photos

Split-face before and after comparison of facial balancing dermal filler treatment on smiling woman, illustrating smoother skin, enhanced symmetry and subtle rejuvenation

Facial balancing before and after images tell a powerful story: with careful placement of fillers and other injectables, your natural features can look refreshed and harmonious in just one visit.

Real-patient facial balancing results

Take a scroll through our gallery and you will notice three themes:

  • Softer smile lines and fuller lips

  • A smoother jawline with better chin projection

  • Eyes that look brighter and better rested

All photos feature real Calista patients treated with a mix of dermal fillers, neurotoxin, and (when needed) PRF or Sculptra. Every face is unique, so results vary.

How long until results show

Most fillers give instant volume, yet the “settled” look appears after swelling eases, usually 7-14 days. Neurotoxin takes 3-7 days to relax lines. Final results feel natural once minor bruising fades, and longevity ranges from six months to two years depending on product and area.

Quick timeline

  • Day 0: Immediate plumping

  • Days 1-3: Mild swelling or bruising

  • Week 2: Filler settles, true shape shows

  • Months 6-24: Enjoy results; schedule touch-ups as advised

Tips for best “after” outcomes

  • Stay hydrated and eat light, low-salt meals the first 24 hours.

  • Skip strenuous workouts and alcohol for 48 hours.

  • Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised the first few nights.

  • Use gentle skincare, no exfoliants for three days.

  • Follow every after-care step your injector provides.

Managing expectations

Facial balancing aims for subtle harmony, not a “new face.” You may need two sessions if volume loss is significant. Plan ahead for events and allow two weeks for any swelling to resolve. Bring inspiration photos, but remember that your bone structure guides what is possible.

Maintenance treatments

  • Dermal filler refresh: 6-12 months (lips, cheeks) or 18-24 months (chin, jaw).

  • Neurotoxin booster: Every 3-4 months to keep lines soft.

  • Collagen stimulators: Sculptra every 1-2 years for deep support.

  • Skin health: Quarterly SkinPen or chemical peel keeps the canvas smooth.
