What Does Facial Balance Mean? Did you know a ‘perfect’ face is not necessarily more attractive?

Why It Matters for Aesthetics and Confidence

When it comes to facial aesthetics, balance is everything. At Facelove Medispa in St
Kilda, we believe that true beauty is about proportion, harmony, and subtlety—not
perfection.

Understanding Facial Balance

Facial balance refers to the way your features relate to one another in size, shape, and
position. A harmonious face is not necessarily a symmetrical one, but one where
features complement each other naturally.

Key Elements of Facial Balance

• Proportion: The relative size of features (eyes, nose, lips, cheeks) to one another
• Harmony: How features work together for a pleasing overall look
• Symmetry: Small degrees of asymmetry are natural; perfect symmetry is rare

There are some rules that we try to follow, such as the ‘Rule of Thirds’ below. A female
face should be approximately equal thirds and we have strategies to balance the face.

Why Balance Matters

A balanced face is often perceived as more youthful, approachable, and attractive. It
can also boost self-confidence and a sense of well-being.

The Role of the Qualified Clinician

A professional assessment by an AHPRA-registered clinician ensures that any
recommendations are tailored to your unique facial structure and goals. We focus on
enhancing your natural features, not changing who you are.

The Art of Subtlety

Sometimes, the best results come from making very small, subtle changes—or
choosing not to treat at all. Less can be more when it comes to facial aesthetics.
