Balanced · Subtle · Confident Results by Dr. Sid Mirrafati, M.D.
Why South Orange County Patients Love This
From Laguna Beach mornings to Mission Viejo trail runs, life in South County moves fast — and looking fresh is part of that. But sometimes, even fit people notice their cheeks stay full, giving them a tired or round look no matter how healthy they eat.
That’s where buccal fat removal in Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach, and Laguna Hills comes in. It’s a small, gentle procedure that sculpts your cheeks for a natural, defined face — not dramatic, just refined.
One of Dr. Mirrafati’s patients said it perfectly:
“I didn’t want to change how I looked. I just wanted to stop hiding my cheekbones.”
What Buccal Fat Removal Does
Everyone has a small pocket of fat inside the lower cheeks called the buccal pad. For some people, it’s just a bit fuller — and that fullness hides your natural bone shape.
Buccal fat removal (or cheek contouring) gently reduces that fat through a small incision inside the mouth — no scars, no outside marks.
Benefits you’ll notice:
- Slimmer, more balanced cheeks
- Highlighted cheekbones
- Softer lower-face outline
- A cleaner, youthful profile
Patients love how it creates balance without looking “done.”
