Side profile balancing is also known as ‘profile plasty’, ‘side profile plasty’, ‘profile balancing’ and ‘side profile enhancement’.

If you’re considering a side profile enhancement, preparation is the key to a positive experience. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the process:

General preparation for side profile balancing

  • Gather information: Research your options to understand the pros and cons, and what results are achievable.
  • Consult a qualified professional: Seek a qualified cosmetic doctor for a consultation. They will provide a proper assessment and guide you on your suitability.

On the day

  • Avoid alcohol and smoking: These substances can affect healing and increase bleeding risk. Avoid them for at least 24 hours before and after your treatment.
  • Remove makeup: Go makeup-free to your appointment so there’s more time for the treatment.

Additional Tips before your side profile balancing

  • Ask questions: Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor any questions you have, no matter how small they seem. Feeling informed and comfortable is crucial.
  • Ensure you have realistic expectations to avoid disappointment.

Remember, preparation is an investment in your safety and well-being. These guidelines have been written to help you prepare.
