Slim & Sculpt Your Face
Faces come in an endless variety of unique shapes, with some appearing more angular or chiseled while others may be rounder or fuller. Sometimes patients may feel that excess fullness in their cheeks detracts from their overall appearance by making them appear heavier than they are or causing a lack of definition in the face. Buccal fat removal (or cheek reduction surgery) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that reduces facial fullness to create a slimmer and more defined appearance. With Dr. Jeremy White, a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Miami buccal fat removal offers the impeccably and authentically sculpted look you want.

Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Surgery
Your Miami cheek reduction procedure at ARC Plastic Surgery will be performed under local anesthesia. Once your anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. White will create a small incision on the inside of your cheek. While pressing on the outside of your cheek to expose the fat pad, he will carefully remove it and close your incision with dissolvable sutures.
Your procedure will take between 30 minutes to one hour to perform. Many patients combine their buccal fat removal with other procedures to maximize their results, recovery, and costs. Depending on your cosmetic goals, you may wish to take full advantage of your process by incorporating such treatments as a facelift, mini facelift, facial fat grafting, rhinoplasty, or injectables like Botox or dermal fillers.
You will be able to go home immediately following your procedure. Your cheeks will swell, but this should improve significantly over the first three or four days. You will need to adhere to a soft diet for your recovery's first week or so. By the one-month mark, your swelling should subside by about 90 percent, and your results will be close to final. Swelling will continue to resolve, and tissues will settle for six months to a year after your procedure.
