Services and Solutions: A Quick Overview

Pillow face is a term used to describe an overly puffy, swollen, or unnatural facial appearance caused by excessive or poorly placed dermal filler injections. It occurs when too much filler is injected into areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, or jawline, leading to a bloated or distorted look rather than a youthful, natural enhancement.

Causes of Pillow Face:
1. Overfilling – Injecting too much filler in one session or layering excessive amounts over time.
2. Poor Injection Technique – Incorrect placement of filler, especially in areas prone to swelling.
3. Inappropriate Filler Choice – Using a filler that retains too much water or lacks proper integration with facial tissues.
4. Frequent Touch-Ups – Over-correcting or continuously adding filler without allowing it to settle naturally.
5. Aging-Related Skin Changes – As skin loses elasticity, excess filler can create an unnatural, heavy appearance.

How to Avoid Pillow Face:
• Choose an Experienced Injector – A skilled provider understands facial anatomy and proper filler placement.
• Use Conservative Amounts – Gradual enhancement over multiple sessions provides a more natural result.
• Prioritize Facial Balance – Fillers should complement facial proportions rather than create excessive volume.
• Consider Filler Dissolution if Needed – Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers if overfilling occurs.

Using the V-Lift Technique to Prevent a Puffy Face

The V-Lift Technique is a strategic approach to filler placement that enhances facial structure while maintaining a natural, non-swollen appearance. By focusing on deep placement and advanced distribution methods, this technique helps achieve refined, long-lasting results.

Key Principles of the V-Lift Technique:
1. Deep Placement of Fillers
• Injecting fillers at the appropriate depth supports facial contours and reduces surface swelling.
2. Micro-Bolus Carpeting Method
• Small, evenly distributed filler deposits create a smooth, natural lift without excessive volume buildup.
3. Strategic Placement Behind the Hairline
• Injecting along the temple and extending down the lower face follows the 80% / 20% principle, ensuring proper support and preventing overfilling in the central face.
4. Selection of Low Water-Retention Fillers
• Choosing fillers with minimal water retention reduces post-injection swelling and puffiness.
5. Avoiding Excessive Cheek Volume
• Maintaining a balanced approach to cheek enhancement prevents an overfilled, unnatural appearance.
6. Incorporating Regenerative & Hybrid Fillers
• Utilizing regenerative products or hybrid fillers (a blend of fillers and regenerative agents) enhances skin quality while maintaining structural integrity.

This technique prioritizes facial harmony, longevity, and a refined aesthetic, making it an optimal approach for natural-looking results.

Power Slim

What is V Line Power Slim?

V Line Power Slim is a three-step procedure that shapes the jaw into a more slender and defined point. As a result, this treatment makes the slimmer face effect you’ve always wanted!

Is V Line Power Slim the right treatment for me?

Firstly, If you feel that your face is too square or round.
Secondly, If you look tired or sad due to drooping mouth corners or fatty bulges on the corners of the mouth.
Finally, If you have a double chin or your jawline is difficult to visualize.

3-Step Process to a Natural Transformation | A Quick Overview

Slim down jaw bulges with Botox Facial Slimming. This is the V Line Power Slim.
Botox Facial Slimming is an off-label use of Botox. The Xeomin treatment takes just 1 injection (20-60u) on each side of the cheek. Patients typically see facial slimming in less than 2 weeks with results lasting up to 6 months.
Melt away cheek fat (buccal fat) with Kybella.
Hanging cheek fat is also known as buccal fat. Due to time and gravity, the fat in the cheek pulls down to the corners of the mouth. This creates a sad and tired look as a result. We can also use Kybella injections to address this area. Treatment for this area generally takes 2 to 3 sessions a few weeks apart with results fully present within 4 weeks.
Melt away chin fat with FDA-approved Kybella.
Kybella is an FDA approved on-label treatment for double chins. Once the fat is gone from the chin, you may consider tightening treatments as well. You may also consider chin extension with fillers.

What is 3D contouring?

If you are considering doing V-Line 3D contouring, then you need to first complete treatment steps 1 and 2 listed above. Our skilled injection artists will further assess your condition during your free consultation. Then we’ll determine which treatments are necessary for your specific needs afterwards.

Although each person is unique, certain facial features are more common to some ethnicities than others. For example, Europeans tend to have more projected features than their Asian counterparts. V-Line 3D contouring is a 3-step process that requires strategic injections of fillers (such as Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane and Sculptra) in three different areas to make the face more contoured.

3D contouring is determined by three projected points:

Forehead/temples
Nose/lips
Chin

V Line 3D contouring solves the following problems:

Flat forehead/Sunken temples
Depression in the nose bridge and tip
Additionally, Thin lips and shortened chin

Our V-Line 3D contouring treatment is further customized for each person’s unique facial features in our Medical Spa in Los Angeles. Thus, you may need a combination of all three steps for best results.
