At Haru Clinic, we understand that many international patients seek facial rejuvenation that looks refreshed—not overfilled or artificial. For patients with volume loss, uneven contours, hollow cheeks, or a less-defined jawline, a personalized combination of treatments may help create a smoother, more balanced appearance.
This treatment story introduces a customized plan combining full-face fillers, Haru Thread Lifting, under-eye fat removal, collagen-focused line treatment, and Botox.
Individual results vary. The most appropriate treatment plan depends on facial anatomy, skin condition, medical history, and personal aesthetic goals.
Understanding Volume Loss and Facial Contour Changes
As facial volume changes over time, the face may appear flatter, more tired, or less balanced. Common concerns can include:
- A flat or uneven forehead
- Hollow-looking mid-cheeks
- Prominent under-eye fat or tear troughs
- Nasolabial folds and mouth-corner lines
- A broad or square-looking lower face
- Reduced definition along the jawline
Rather than treating one area in isolation, a full-face approach considers how the forehead, cheeks, under-eye area, lower face, and jawline work together.
The Patient’s Concerns
Before treatment, this patient showed overall facial volume deficiency, particularly in the forehead and cheek areas. The forehead appeared relatively flat and uneven, while protruding under-eye fat contributed to a hollow-looking mid-cheek area.
Other concerns included visible nasolabial folds, mouth-corner lines, and a wider, more angular lower face due to developed jaw muscles.



The patient’s goals were to:
- Improve the appearance of facial tiredness and uneven contours
- Restore soft, natural-looking volume
- Smooth the transition between the under-eye and mid-cheek areas
- Create a slimmer, more defined jawline
- Maintain a natural appearance without an overfilled look
A Personalized Combination Treatment Plan
Following an in-depth consultation, the treatment plan was designed around the patient’s individual facial structure and desired outcome.
Under-Eye Fat Removal
For prominent under-eye fat, under-eye fat removal was selected to improve the contour of the lower eyelid area. In suitable candidates, this procedure may help create a smoother transition from the under-eye area to the cheeks.
Full-Face Fillers
Full-face fillers were used to restore balance and soft volume in areas with volume deficiency, including the forehead and cheeks.
The goal of full-face filler treatment is not simply to add volume. It is to support facial harmony by considering proportion, symmetry, skin condition, and natural movement.
Collagen Elasticity Line Treatment
A collagen-focused line treatment was used to address the nasolabial folds and mouth-corner lines. This approach aims to support the appearance of skin elasticity and improve the look of deeper facial lines.
Botox was included to address the developed jaw muscles and help refine the lower-face contour.
Haru Lifting is Haru Clinic’s thread-lifting treatment using dissolvable threads, including specially designed curved threads. When appropriate, thread lifting may help support and reposition soft tissue for a more defined facial contour.
Downtime, bruising, swelling, and recovery time vary by patient and procedure. Your doctor will discuss expected recovery and post-treatment care during your consultation.
One-Month Treatment Progress
At the one-month follow-up, the patient’s facial contours appeared smoother and more balanced.



Botox and Haru Thread Lifting
The forehead and cheeks showed more harmonious volume, while the jawline appeared slimmer and more defined. The under-eye and mid-cheek transition also looked smoother following treatment of the protruding under-eye fat and restoration of cheek volume.
The nasolabial folds and mouth-corner lines appeared softened, contributing to an overall fresher and more rested look.



Why a Comprehensive Consultation Matters
Natural-looking facial rejuvenation begins with a precise assessment. A successful treatment plan should take into account:
- Your facial proportions and bone structure
- Areas of volume loss or excess
- Skin quality and elasticity
- Muscle activity in the lower face
- Your preferred level of correction
- Your medical history and suitability for each procedure
For patients seeking several facial improvements at once, combining treatments may be considered—but only after a thorough medical consultation. The ideal plan is always individualized, and not every procedure is suitable for every patient.
