Harmonization with Hyaluronic Acid in Facial Rejuvenation
Hyaluronic acid, highlighted as the best non-surgical option to outline the contours of the face, is key to achieving a better balanced and natural facial appearance.
By softening facial contours, it is possible to enhance beauty, preserving harmony and maintaining the authenticity of the face.
A facial appearance balanced with hyaluronic acid could highlight a person’s beauty, as well as lead to a stereotype in which all people have very similar appearances.
By softening facial contours, the individual essence is sought.
Harmonization of facial contours
According to the bones that support the face, we will have two facial contours joined together: Upper and Lower.
Superior Facial Contour:
It includes considering the lines of the contours of the forehead, temples, nose, eye orbits, upper jaw, malars and temporal processes that result in facial harmonization of the area of first impact in an interview.
Alterations in facial areas can manifest themselves in various ways and be perceived by people as reasons for aesthetic consultation for various reasons.
Below are details of how these alterations usually express themselves and motivate the search for treatment:
- Forehead : The presence of deep expression lines or horizontal wrinkles can make people feel dissatisfied with their appearance, perceiving themselves as older or looking tired.
- Temples : Sinking or loss of volume in the temples can affect the general contour of the face, leading to an older appearance or a feeling of loss of youth. This may motivate people to seek corrections that restore facial volume.
- Nose : Irregularities, such as a pronounced nasal bridge, drooping nasal tip, or asymmetries, may be of aesthetic concern to some people. These concerns often enter the surgical field.
- Eye orbits : Dark circles, bags under the eyes, or sunken under-eye area may cause people to seek treatments for a fresher, more rejuvenated look, especially if they feel these characteristics make them look tired or aged.
- Upper jaw : Loss of definition in the cheekbones or jaw can lead people to feel that their face has lost structure or support, seeking options to improve facial definition and regain a more youthful contour.
- Malares (cheekbones) : Flat cheekbones or loss of volume in this area can affect the perception of facial structure. Many people seek to enhance cheekbone volume to enhance natural beauty and achieve improved facial balance.
- Temporal processes : Volume loss in this area may not be immediately obvious to the average person, but its correction can have a significant impact on the overall harmony and balance of the face, leading to a more youthful and rested facial contour.
Lower Facial Contour:
It basically includes softening the facial contour of the jaw, the only limit being the lower part of the face. The jaw supports the lips, chin and cheeks. Very desirable points in attracting people.
Concerns related to these areas usually manifest themselves in aesthetic consultations in the following ways:
- Loss of definition in the jaw contour: With aging there may be a decrease in the definition of the jaw contour. This may lead people to seek treatments to regain a more defined and angular jawline, which is associated with a younger, firmer appearance.
- Grooves or marionette lines: These lines extend from the corners of the mouth down and to the sides of the chin. They can give the impression of sadness or bitterness, motivating people to seek treatments to soften these lines and achieve a more rested and positive appearance.
- Lip volume and shape: Lips can lose volume, definition or begin to show vertical lines due to aging or genetic factors. This may lead people to seek treatments to plump their lips, improve their shape, or smooth out lines to rejuvenate their appearance.
- Sagging of the soft tissues of the cheeks: Loss of volume in the cheek area can result in sagging, which affects the overall appearance of the face. People may desire treatments that restore lost volume or lift tissues for a more youthful, toned look.
Importance of proportion in harmonization as part of facial rejuvenation.
It is essential to consider the zones in relation to the surrounding areas.
The lips
Replacing the lip unit involves compensating all the structures that make it up.
It is the first anatomical unit that decompensates. The process is “deflationary” and general, not localized.
It cannot only be seen as filling vermillions, nasolabial folds or, projecting the chin and correcting marionette lines.
When mustache wrinkles appear, there is also loss of volume of the entire upper lip unit.
The vermilion shrinks and hides.
Something similar happens in the lower lip, which begins to show depression at the corners.
The isolated correction of the lower commissures sometimes generates disappointment because, in most cases, it is a bit artificial.
In the lower part of the lips, the isolated chin, as the tip, falls off and loses continuity with the jaw.
And there we have another situation that deserves to consider the complete lower contour.
We are going to have disappointments when we have peculiar ideas of lines and grooves.

Projecting the forehead without considering the temples can be unbalanced.
Likewise, concealing the loss of the jaw line created by a chubby cheek without considering the chin may lack aesthetic cohesion since a very sagging chin or cheek will be more noticeable.
Projecting the chin without obtaining a continuous line with the jaw will leave it a little “false”.
The mandibular rami (the region in front of the ears) may have little definition when the temporal process is pronounced. It can be attractive or it can also be unwanted.
Healthy looking skin...
It is crucial not to forget the importance of healthy skin when considering hyaluronic acid in facial rejuvenation.
Facial revitalization, which we understand as compensating for sagging or improving wrinkled-looking skin in general, is not easily compensated with hyaluronic acid.
The superficial volumization of long-lasting hyaluronic acid is not possible because it generates nodulations or a round appearance of the face.
Finally, cleansing the skin gives a pleasant appearance to the first impression.
