Profile Harmonization
Profile Harmonization utilizes dermal fillers for your lower face to balance your facial features and enhance your lips. Often patients desire to create full lips. We understand that if you change the size and shape of the lips without considering the effect on the lower face in its entirety, then you will be left with undesirable results. Because of our in depth understanding and training in facial anatomy, we use a “whole face” approach to treatment.
What can you expect?
We treat patients with the goal of creating a harmonized and natural balance to the lips by ensuring that the appropriate upper and lower support are present to enhance the lips or showcase the natural lips more effectively.
We carefully analyze the face to assess for:
-
Lack of cheek prominence
-
Wrinkles and fold that cause shadowing
-
Temple Hollowing
-
Asymmetry and imbalance
-
Upper vs lower lip imbalance
-
Lack of smoothness above and within the lip
-
Jowls
-
Marionette lines
-
Lack of lip projection and pout
-
Lack of fullness
-
Definition of chin
-
Contour of chin from side view
-
Drooping nose tip
-
Hump in the nose
-
Nose size in relation to face
-
Weak jawline
-
Neck Laxity
Our Process
1
Facial Feature Assessment
Our staff provides a comprehensive analysis of your facial shape and features. We examine the entire face including the jawline, chin, smile lines, cheeks, lips, and nose to determine which areas need treating.
​
At Forma, we use the 7th Generation VISIA® Skin Analysis System, this state-of-the-art technology, captures perfect images while rotating around your face. Using these left, right and frontal views, we conduct an analysis and visual assessment of your face. We design injectable simulations, map your wrinkles for precise treatment, and determine your skin’s true age.
​
Most importantly for you, we show your expected outcomes for your recommended injectable treatment plan. We save the images and compare the outcomes over time to refine your precise look.

Design the Treatment Plan
We determine the desired outcomes and create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and comfort level both personally and financially. Full treatment plans range from a single session to several months depending on your needs. Our patient advocate works closely with you providing guidance and support throughout the process.

Select the Fillers
Forma uses the Juvéderm Collection of Fillers. Juvéderm ranks #1 among dermal fillers of choice in the US. Juvéderm offers 6 different fillers, each designed to add volume or structure according to the area of treatment and your unique needs.

Inject the Filler and Evaluate Results
With experienced hands, our medical staff carefully and skillfully injects your filler. We take the time needed to ensure your filler is placed safely, purposefully, and comfortably. A variety of comfort options are available to our patients to minimize any discomfort or anxiety associated with injections.
After 4-6 weeks, which gives you adequate time to heal, we see you for a follow-up to repeat VISIA imaging and compare clinical images and provide skin health scores. Using the finding of your VISIA imaging, we advise you on maintenance and care of your skin and craft an ongoing treatment plan, so you never have to guess what to do to keep your skin glowing and healthy.
