It isn’t a missing thing. It’s a missing proportion.
You look at a photograph from five years ago and the difference is too quiet to name. Same eyes, same smile. But the proportions have shifted. The mid-cheek sits a millimetre lower. The temple has hollowed in a way you can’t point to. Light falls on the face differently than it used to.
Most patients who want filler don’t actually want filler. They want this: the original composition back. The cheek that supported the eye. The chin angle that held the lower face. The temple curve that gave the cheekbone its frame.
The Composition is not about adding. It is about restoring the proportions that made the face look like itself.
