How your features sit together.
Volume is how full or flat the cheeks, temples, lips, and jawline read next to each other. Filler adds volume where it is placed, which is why Paulina works from the whole face.

In plain terms
What it is
Facial volume describes how full or flat the cheeks, temples, lips and jawline look, and how those areas sit in relation to each other. Volume is a comparison rather than a measurement: a temple reads as hollow next to the cheekbone beside it, and a jawline reads as soft against the neck below it. Kalina uses dermal fillers in the cheeks, lips, temples and along the jawline. Faces change in ways that are easier to notice than to describe, so the conversation starts with which feature you keep returning to.
Who tends to ask
Is it right for you?
Balance means different things to different people: definition along the jawline, proportion between the cheeks and the temples, or symmetry between one side and the other. Say which feature you are actually looking at. Paulina works from the whole face, because a change to the cheeks alters how the temples and the jawline read.
Which features are you comparing: the cheeks, the temples, the lips, or the jawline?
What should remain unchanged for the result to feel like you?
Would education about alternatives help the decision?
How the visit runs
What to expect
Paulina looks at how your features relate to each other and asks which ones you'd rather leave alone. Balance is a comparison, so she works from the whole face rather than one spot.
You describe what has changed and over what sort of timeframe, as best you can.
Paulina looks at balance across the whole face rather than at one feature.
You leave with a clearer sense of what is worth discussing and what is not.
Being straight with you
Realistic expectations
Because filler adds volume where it is placed, a change to the cheeks alters how the temples and the jawline read, which is the reason Paulina looks at proportion across the face rather than at one feature. She would rather revisit a conversation than commit you to something early, and she will say when she thinks the answer is to leave a feature alone.
