Aesthetic Facial Balancing: Periorbital

The periorbital area of the face (the eyes, cheeks, and brows) loses volume with age, resulting in negative space, dark shadows, and hollowness. This can make an individual appear exhausted or unhealthy, but Dr. Rian Maercks is able to address this area with his filler-based Aesthetic Facial Balancing© treatment.

What is Aesthetic Facial Balancing?

Aesthetic Facial Balancing is one of Dr. Maercks’s signature services at The Maercks Institute. Developed by Dr. Maercks himself, this highly customized procedure combines art, aesthetic sensibilities, and anatomical knowledge to rejuvenate the face using the body’s own fat and/or hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Patients can enjoy the results of a facelift, brow lift, rhinoplasty, jaw contouring, and other tweaks without the need for surgery.

Natural-looking enhancement

Aesthetic judgments can happen in a few hundred milliseconds. This is why we instantly recognize an attractive person in a crowd. Dr. Maercks designed Aesthetic Facial Balancing to alter this immediate perception of the face. Patients simply look better at first glance without immediate or obvious explanation, all while looking 100% natural. Dr. Maercks’s results have been known to last for years without the appearance of having “work done”, which patients love.

How Dr. Maercks performs periorbital AFB

The actual Aesthetic Facial Balancing procedure is painless and is performed through a limited number of tiny needle entries. Dr. Maercks is able to correct negative space, dark shadows, and hollowness in the periorbital area of the face by using a cannula to inject hyaluronic acid-based fillers in order to seamlessly blend the under-eye area with the rest of the face. Patients who receive periorbital Aesthetic Facial Balancing immediately appear younger, more awake, and rejuvenated.

Recovery

Recovery time from Aesthetic Facial Balancing may vary depending on the amount of volume used during the procedure, as well as the patient’s age, overall health, and post-procedure activities. When small sub-unit steps are planned, there’s typically no significant recovery time — but with more extensive treatments, recovery time may be 2 to 7 days. In some cases, there’s no recovery time at all, but patients should always be prepared for minimal swelling and perhaps some bruising. Patients usually leave Dr. Maercks’s office thrilled with their outcome, and are able to immediately return to their regular day.
