Before And After BOTOX® & Fillers for the Round Face Case 414

ABOUT OUR PATIENT

This entrepreneur in her early 30s wanted a slimmer-looking, heart-shaped facial contour, with greater definition through her cheeks and lower face. Frequently on camera and in photographs, she wanted a polished appearance that still looked naturally her.

Her interest began with non-surgical rhinoplasty, inspired by a photo filter that made her nose appear narrower. During her consultation, the conversation expanded beyond the nose to explore how the cheeks, chin, under eyes, and jaw could work together to create the balanced facial shape she envisioned.

MFI TREATMENT PLAN

Using our Illumination 360 (i360) approach, Dr. Mabrie evaluated her features from multiple angles under specialized lighting. By studying how light, shadow, and proportion shaped her appearance, he developed a coordinated plan to enhance definition while preserving the softness of her natural features.

Creating a slimmer-looking contour was not simply about adding filler. It meant considering where muscle relaxation could soften width and where carefully placed volume could introduce structure.

• Masseters (Dysport): Dysport was used to relax the chewing muscles at the sides of the jaw, helping soften muscle-related width and support a more tapered lower-face appearance.
• Cheeks and Midface (Juvederm Voluma): Filler restored volume and refined cheek definition, creating more distinct contours to support the heart-shaped appearance she wanted.
• Chin (Juvederm Voluma and Botox): Filler refined chin shape to balance the cheeks and lower face. Botox relaxed the chin muscle to complement that definition with a smoother contour.
• Under eyes (Restylane): Filler softened hollows and smoothed the transition between the under eyes and cheeks, helping the midface appear more rested.
• Nose (Restylane): Filler refined nasal contours for a more defined, balanced appearance. This addressed her original concern through changes in shape and proportion, rather than physically reducing nasal size.

At MFI, we favor treatment over a series of sessions. Allowing time for each stage to settle gives us the opportunity to reassess facial balance and make thoughtful refinements. Each appointment builds on the last, with the whole face guiding every decision.

THE OUTCOME

Her before-and-after photographs, taken four months apart, document the results of three treatment sessions. More defined cheeks, a balanced chin, smoother under eye transitions, and a more tapered lower face contribute to a sculpted, heart-shaped appearance.

She was very happy with her results, especially the natural balance and definition achieved without changing the character of her face. Her transformation reflects the intention behind the i360 approach: thoughtful shaping, balanced proportions, and natural-looking refinement.

Because maintaining facial harmony is an ongoing process, we continue to see her approximately once a year for maintenance treatments. These visits allow us to reassess how her features are aging and make subtle refinements as needed, helping preserve her results over time.
