proportions of your facial features from both the front and profile views, as well as including Ricketts line, golden ratios, and the rules of thirds and fifths. What is Facial Balancing? Facial balancing, also known as facial harmonization, is the art of enhancing your facial features through a holistic approach to achieve a balanced and symmetrical appearance. This involves assessing the proportions of your face from both the front and profile views and making adjustments to create harmony.

Front View Analysis

From the front view, facial balancing involves evaluating the symmetry and proportions of your facial features. Key elements include:

• Golden Ratio: The golden ratio (approximately 1.618:1) is a mathematical ratio often found in nature and art. In facial aesthetics, it is used to determine the ideal proportions of facial features. For example, the distance between the eyes should be about one-fifth of the width of the face.
• Rule of Thirds: The face can be divided into three equal horizontal sections: the upper third (hairline to eyebrows), the middle third (eyebrows to the bottom of the nose), and the lower third (bottom of the nose to the chin). Each section should be approximately equal in height for a balanced appearance.
• Rule of Fifths: The face can also be divided into five equal vertical sections. The width of each eye should be approximately one-fifth of the total width of the face, and the distance between the eyes should be one eye-width.

Profile View Analysis

From the profile view, facial balancing involves evaluating the alignment and projection of facial features. Key elements include:

• Ricketts Line: The Ricketts line, also known as the esthetic plane, is an imaginary line drawn from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin. Ideally, the lips should be slightly behind this line for a balanced profile.
• In individuals with a disproportionately larger nose, for example, augmenting the chin and possibly the lips in some of these individuals, may help create a more balanced profile. By enhancing the projection of the chin and lips, the nose may appear proportionately smaller, resulting in a harmonious profile. This concept can be applied across other areas of the face as well.

What is Full Face Rejuvenation?

Full face rejuvenation is a comprehensive approach to revitalizing the entire face to reverse signs of aging such as wrinkles, saggy skin, loss of elasticity, age spots, volume loss from loss of collagen, fat or bone loss. It involves using multiple modalities to address signs of aging, improve nutrition, skin texture, and enhance facial contours. This treatment aims to provide a youthful and refreshed appearance.
