Precision Cheek Contouring at Clark Institute for Aesthetics

Our team performs buccal fat surgery with a planning-first philosophy, prioritizing harmony over hollowing.

About Buccal Fat Removal and What It Addresses

Buccal fat removal reduces the naturally fatty pads deep in the lower cheeks through tiny intraoral incisions. We sculpt conservatively to avoid an over-treated look, enhancing cheekbones and sharpening the jawline while preserving youthful softness.

  • Softens “chipmunk” or baby-faced fullness
  • Defines midface–jawline transition points
  • Improves shadow–highlight contrast on camera
  • Complements rhinoplasty, chin, or neck work

After consulting with three different specialists, I chose Dr. Clark to do my upper and lower eyelid surgery. I was very happy with the results. He explained things very thoughtfully and clearly, and I was well aware of what was going to be done to my face. The staff were superior in answering any questions, and after the surgery, the nursing staff was very quick to return any call about concerns I had. I highly recommend Dr Clark for any cosmetic surgery procedure.

I feel the look is so natural and refreshed

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Clark and his entire team. Every step was explained in detail and executed without a problem. The aftercare has been phenomenal. I’m now 15 weeks post-surgery and over the moon with my results. I feel the look is so natural and refreshed, exactly what I’d hoped it would be.

Why Clark Institute for Aesthetics for Lower-Cheek Refinement?

Our playbook is restraint and precision. Dr. Clark, Dr. Ezell, and Dr. Abbassi tailor removal amounts to your facial characteristics, smile dynamics, and skin quality, using photographic simulations to model proportional results—not trends—so outcomes age gracefully.

A Surgical Environment Built Around You

Our surgeons bring advanced training in facial aesthetics and combine it with a safety-first culture. Procedures occur in an accredited center with hospital-grade protocols, supported by experienced nurses, medical assistants, and estheticians who reinforce comfort and education throughout recovery.

Your Aesthetic Plan, Defined Together

We’re collaborative. Your consultation includes bite assessment, masseter tone review, and a candid talk about lifestyle, weight stability, and long-term goals. Together, we decide if buccal fat removal in Orlando offers meaningful benefit, or if an alternative better fits your vision.

What Sets Our Team Apart

  • Conservative, artistry-led tissue sculpting
  • Imaging-guided planning and symmetry checks
  • Seamless coordination when combining procedures

Phenomenal plastic surgery practice in all respects. Surgeons, nurses, assistants, and front desk staff are all competent, caring, and service-oriented. Plus, the results are outstanding, worth the cost without any doubt!

Benefits You May Notice

  • Slimmer, more contoured lower cheeks
  • Enhanced cheekbone definition and facial angles
  • Subtler jowls and improved jawline contrast
  • Minimal external scarring via inside-the-mouth incisions
  • Confidence on-camera and in person

Who’s a Good Candidate

A consultation confirms candidacy by reviewing health history, oral hygiene, gum health, and weight stability. Ideal patients have persistent mid-to-lower cheek fullness despite fitness, understand conservative limits, and accept that aging and weight changes influence contour over time. Non-smokers with realistic expectations do best.

How the Procedure Unfolds, Step by Step

  1. Pre-op photos and markings confirm symmetry and removal targets.
  2. Local anesthesia with sedation (or general, if combined procedures).
  3. Tiny intraoral incisions access the buccal fat pads.
  4. Gentle, incremental removal; surgeon reassesses balance while seated upright.
  5. Dissolvable sutures, antiseptic rinse, and home-care instructions.

Recovery Roadmap and When Results Show

Expect mild swelling for one to two weeks; most return to daily routines within several days. A soft-food plan, saline rinses, and limited cardio protect healing. Definition emerges steadily over six to twelve weeks as tissues settle. Final contour reflects both surgical refinement and your natural facial structure.

Subtypes of Buccal Contouring

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it change my smile or facial expressions?

We protect the buccal branch nerves and modulate removal to preserve dynamic movement. Temporary tightness is common early on, but normal expression returns as swelling subsides.

Is it reversible if I want more fullness later?

Removed fat doesn’t grow back, but selective facial fat transfer can restore volume artistically. We counsel conservatively upfront to avoid regret and keep options open.

How does age affect long-term results?

Faces naturally deflate with age. Our conservative approach anticipates future volume shifts, aiming for refined, not hollow, contours that remain flattering as you mature.

How do you minimize risks like hollowing?

We remove incrementally, assess upright, and factor skin quality, zygomatic projection, and smile dynamics. When in doubt, we combine with upper-cheek support via fat transfer.
