What Is ‘Facial Balancing’ With Fillers? We Asked Plastic Surgeons About This New Anti-Aging Procedure

The “Golden Ratio” that doctors who perform these procedures have in mind literally uses a mathematical formula to determine what proportion of facial length to width is most visually appealing, as well as things like the “ideal” distance from the top of the nose to the center of the lips.
