The cheek reduction procedure involves making small incisions inside the mouth, between the cheeks and gums. Dr. White can access the buccal fat pads through these incisions and remove the necessary fat to reshape the cheeks.
After completing the procedure on one side, Dr. White will carefully repeat the process on the other cheek to ensure balanced and symmetrical results. Depending on the complexity of the surgery, it can be performed under either general or local anesthesia.
In some cases, cheek reduction may be combined with other procedures, such as a neck lift, liposuction, or chin augmentation, to achieve a more comprehensive facial recontouring.
