Yes, and the great news is that you don’t always need surgery to do it. Side profile balancing is about creating harmony between your facial features — most commonly the forehead, nose, lips, midface and chin. When these areas are proportionate, the profile looks more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. Many people feel self-conscious about certain angles — perhaps a prominent nose, a weak chin, or a less defined jawline. These features might not be “flaws” at all, but when they’re not in balance with one another, they can draw more attention than you’d like. But is it possible to improve your side profile? That’s where modern treatments come in.
Thanks to advanced injectable treatments like dermal fillers, side profile balancing no longer requires going under the knife. Skilled practitioners can use dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections to subtly reshape and enhance key areas. Here are a few options:
Dermal fillers can define the chin and jawline, giving a more sculpted and proportionate look. This is particularly useful if you feel your chin appears recessed in comparison to your nose or forehead.
With nose filler, it’s possible to smooth out small bumps or refine the shape of the nose — all without surgery. While it doesn’t make the nose smaller, it can make it appear more symmetrical and in better harmony with other features.
Dr Ayad Harb has introduced the mid face protocol that harmonises the side profile with the mid-face, which includes evaluating the nose and balancing the cheek area. This area can also minimise the projection of the nose.
Balancing the projection and volume of the lips can also make a big difference in side profile photos. Subtle lip fillers can help with proportion and contour.
Although often overlooked, the forehead’s shape and size can impact the overall balance of the face. Fillers or wrinkle-relaxing treatments can soften deep lines or restore volume lost over time.
Anyone who’s ever taken a photo from the side and felt it didn’t quite reflect how they see themselves in the mirror. Side profile balancing is a good option for those seeking subtle, natural-looking enhancement without downtime.
So, is it possible to improve your side profile? Absolutely — and it doesn’t have to mean invasive procedures. With a personalised treatment plan and a skilled aesthetic practitioner, non-surgical options can deliver remarkable results that enhance your confidence and restore facial harmony.
Subtle filler or skin-tightening treatments can restore balance to one side of the face, enhancing symmetry and natural definition.
A side profile may feel "terrible" due to imbalanced features, like a weak chin or flat nose — often genetic and easily improved with non-surgical options.
An attractive side profile usually shows harmony between the nose, lips, chin, and forehead — with smooth contours and balanced proportion.
