Facial balancing in Huntersville, NC is a non-surgical plan that looks at your cheeks, chin, jawline, lips, and under-eyes together, instead of one feature at a time. Filler goes where you need structure or volume. Botox or Dysport goes where a muscle is the problem. I'm Kat Chapman, BSN, RN, and I do this at Canvas & Glow on Sam Furr Road in Huntersville, under the supervision of a medical director.

When you book with me, your treatment is done under the supervision of a medical director. I'm the licensed RN doing the injection, following physician-directed protocols. My medical director is a physician with 23 years of practice and about 12 years in aesthetics. That means a nurse and a physician both stand behind the plan for your face.
Most people come in for one feature. Lips, usually, or the under-eyes. Facial balancing starts from the other end. I look at how your features sit next to each other, from the front and in profile, at rest and while you talk and smile. Some injectors call it facial harmonization, and you'll also hear facial rebalancing. The idea is the same: change proportions a little in two or three places instead of a lot in one.
Here's a common example. A soft or set-back chin can make the lips and nose look bigger than they are. For some faces, a little support at the chin does more for the profile than another syringe in the lips. Whether that's true for you is something I can only tell in person, which is why every plan starts with a free consult.
Non-surgical facial balancing uses two different tools. Filler adds structure or volume. Botox and Dysport relax a muscle. Which one fits an area depends on whether the issue is shape or movement.
| Area | What usually helps | More detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheeks & midface | HA filler for flattened volume or lost lift | Cheek filler |
| Chin & jawline | HA filler for a recessed chin or a soft jawline | Jawline & chin |
| Lips | HA filler for volume and border, or a Botox lip flip | Lip filler |
| Under-eyes | Small amounts of HA filler, only if you're a candidate | Under-eye filler |
| Gummy smile | Botox or Dysport to soften how high the upper lip lifts | Botox & Dysport |
| Forehead, 11s, crow's feet | Botox or Dysport | Botox & Dysport |
Most facial balancing filler goes into the cheeks, chin, and jawline, because those set the frame for everything else. Botox is usually the smaller part of a plan: a gummy smile, a lip flip, or the 11s. Plenty of plans use only one of the two.
Facial balancing cost depends on how many areas your plan includes and how many syringes each one needs, so there's no single price. Here's how the pieces are priced on my pricing page:
I don't publish per-syringe filler dollar amounts, and there's no set facial balancing package. You get a specific estimate before anything is booked. Financing through Cherry and CareCredit is available for treatment plans. For how neurotoxin pricing works, see Botox cost in Huntersville.
We start with a conversation about what bothers you, in your words. Then I tell you what I'd treat first and what I'd leave alone.
Plans often go in stages. Botox takes 3 to 14 days to settle, and filler swelling takes a few days to go down. I'd rather see your face at the two-week follow-up before adding anything. That follow-up is included, and if something needs adjusting, I adjust it at no charge.
One thing worth knowing: the FDA notes that using fillers together with neuromodulators like Botox hasn't been evaluated in a controlled clinical study. If your plan uses both, ask me about it at your consult.
Botox feels like a quick pinch. Some fillers already contain lidocaine, a numbing medicine, and most people feel pressure more than pain. You can ask me to stop at any point.
Botox has no real downtime. Filler can leave swelling for a few days, and bruising is possible. The FDA says many of those side effects clear up within days to weeks. If you have a big event, give yourself at least two weeks.
It depends on which part of the plan you mean. The FDA says how long a filler lasts depends on the filler material and the area where it's injected, and that some fillers are absorbed over time, so the treatment may need repeating.
Botox wears off too. MedlinePlus says cosmetic Botox injections for frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet may be repeated every 3 to 4 months, depending on how long the effect lasts. I won't promise a number for your face. We can talk about touch-up timing at your two-week follow-up.
The filler I use is Juvéderm, a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. Different HA fillers do different jobs, and I pick the right one for you at your consult. Sculptra and Radiesse are not HA and can't be dissolved the same way. HA filler can usually be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if it needs to come out. That's a procedure with its own risks, and the FDA notes that non-HA and permanent fillers can be difficult or impossible to remove. Botox can't be dissolved. It wears off on its own, which is one reason I dose on the light side and add at two weeks if you want more.
Based on the FDA's dermal filler guidance, plan to wait, or bring it up at your consult before anything is injected, if:
If you want to look like a different person, I'm the wrong injector. Facial rebalancing the way I do it means small changes that still look like you.
The FDA lists bruising, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, and itching as common filler side effects, and says many clear up within days to weeks. The most serious risk is filler getting into a blood vessel. The FDA calls that chance low, but it can cause tissue damage, vision problems including blindness, or stroke. Get care right away for unusual pain, any change in your vision, or skin near the injection site that turns white, gray, or blue. For Botox, MedlinePlus explains the rare risk of the drug spreading beyond where it was injected. You can look up my license on the North Carolina Board of Nursing site.
I can't tell you from a webpage how many syringes or units you need, or exactly how your face will respond. I find that out at the consult and check it at two weeks. Results vary from person to person. The full services menu lists everything else I do.
It's a non-surgical plan that treats your face as a whole, sometimes called facial harmonization or facial rebalancing. Kat Chapman, BSN, RN looks at your cheeks, chin, jawline, lips, and under-eyes together, then uses hyaluronic acid filler where structure or volume helps and Botox or Dysport where muscle movement is the issue.
Usually filler, sometimes with Botox or Dysport. Filler adds structure in areas like the chin, jawline, and cheeks. Botox or Dysport relaxes a muscle, for example for a gummy smile or a lip flip. A plan may use one or both.
It depends on how many areas and syringes your plan needs. All neurotoxins are $13/unit, and dermal filler is priced per syringe and quoted at a free consult. There's no set package price. You get a specific estimate before anything is booked.
