Natural Cheek Contour · Subtle Definition · Trusted Care by Dr. Sid Mirrafati, M.D.
The Look Everyone in Newport Beach Talks About
Around Fashion Island and the beach areas, you see that soft, sculpted look — clean jawlines, slightly defined cheeks, natural curves in the face. That’s not always genetics. Many locals have turned to buccal fat removal in Newport Beach, a small procedure that makes a quiet but powerful change.
Dr. Sid Mirrafati, M.D., says it’s not about chasing trends. It’s about balance. The goal is to make your face match how you feel — confident, active, refined.
One patient told him, “I still look like me. Just… lighter.” That’s the perfect result.
What Is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal, also called cheek contouring, gently reduces the natural fat pads that sit inside your lower cheeks. It helps people who feel their face looks too full or “puffy,” even when they’re fit.
The process gives the face more shape — higher-looking cheekbones, a smoother jawline, and less roundness around the mouth area.
You might want this if:
- You have full cheeks that don’t go away with diet or exercise
- You want a slimmer, more contoured mid-face
- You feel your face looks heavier on camera
- You want subtle, natural results — not hollow
This isn’t a trend. It’s about restoring balance to your features.
