Buccal Fat Removal
Introduction to Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal is a popular, safe, and straightforward surgery that permanently slims the face and creates more defined cheek and facial contours. It is an excellent option for patients who have a round, full face with excess fat and desire a narrower, less cherubic face for personal or professional reasons. Mentor Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, offers buccal fat removal to patients in the Detroit, MI, area who are seeking a more defined facial appearance. Read on to learn more about buccal fat removal and schedule a consultation today at his Troy office!
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive in-office procedure that permanently decreases the fullness of the cheeks, allowing the cheekbones to appear more prominent in the facial contours. Using a local anesthetic, excess cheek fat is gently removed through a small incision in the mouth, resulting in a permanently slimmed face and improved cheek contour. The procedure results in thinning of the area just under the cheekbone and above the jawbone. Part of this soft tissue is the buccal fat, which can be reduced in size to create a more contoured, thinner facial appearance with enhanced definition in the jawline and cheekbones.
Chin & Neck Liposuction
What is Chin & Neck Liposuction?
Chin and neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes liposuction to create a smoother, firmer, and more defined V-shape to enhance the contours of your face. During this procedure, a small incision is made under the chin and behind the earlobes, through which a small cannula is introduced. As suction is applied through the cannula, the fat is mechanically broken apart and removed. This is an effective way to remove isolated pockets of fat and sculpt the chin, jawline, and upper neck.
Who Are the Best Candidates For Chin & Neck Liposuction?
The best candidates for chin/neck liposuction treatment are in good overall health, have realistic goals, and are near their ideal weight. Liposuction is a great alternative for patients who were left with unsatisfactory results from their weight-loss program. Ideal candidates must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Chin Augmentation
What is a Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation, medically known as genioplasty, is a facial plastic surgery procedure that targets bony chin enlargement using a solid implant that sits on the natural bone structure of the chin to push the chin forward permanently. Dr. Compton prefers solid silicone implants because they are permanent, completely inert in the body, and have very minimal complications. Solid silicone will not create any immune reaction (unlike what can happen with ruptured silicone gel breast implants). Dr. Compton uses chin implants from Implantech, which offer a wide variety of sizes and shapes to suit patients’ needs. During your consultation, Dr. Compton will assess your needs,, and together, you will select an implant that creates the look you want. During the surgery, Dr. Compton will make a small, inconspicuous incision under the chin and expertly insert the implant, securing it to the bone for a permanen,t, stable jawline enhancement. This procedure is highly effective for enhancing jawline definition and creating a harmonious facial profile.
Facelift
What is a Facelift?
A rhytidectomy (more commonly referred to as a “facelift”) reduces visible signs of aging by tightening sagging skin, smoothing deep wrinkles, and lifting facial tissues. Excess skin is removed, the underlying muscles and fat are repositioned, and the skin is redraped to achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Traditional facelifts focus on natural-looking results, avoiding the overly tight or “pulled” look by restoring volume and structure rather than just removing loose skin. Different types of facelifts are also available, depending on one’s aesthetic interests and the severity of their skin concerns. Many of our Detroit facelift patients will also pair their surgery with a neck lift procedure for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Testimonials
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paul Vanek and the entire team at Mentor Plastic Surgery & MedSpa. I had a breast augmentation at the end of December, and Dr. Vanek has been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process — from consultation to surgery to follow-ups. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. He took the time to answer all of my questions, made me feel completely comfortable, and ensured I felt confident every step of the way.
I also want to highlight how amazing Mindy was in getting me started. She was so helpful with communication, scheduling, and walking me through what to expect. My initial consult with both Mindy and Dr. Vanek was thorough and reassuring — they truly make you feel like you’re in the best hands.
Another aspect I really appreciated was the ability to schedule post-surgery massage right there at the office shortly after my procedure. Having that convenience in the same location made the recovery process feel seamless and well-coordinated. Kayla is fantastic — knowledgeable, gentle, and so supportive. She made each session comfortable and reassuring, and it truly felt like an extension of the thoughtful care the entire team provides.
From start to finish, the experience has exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with my results and would 100% recommend Dr. Vanek and his team to anyone considering surgery. - Alana S.
Dr Paul Vanek, Mentor Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Concord Ohio, performed my abdominoplasty & monsplasty with full muscle repair of my diastases recti after 5 pregnancies. I am 10 days post op and I feel so great! My scar is thin and even. I have never been happier with my body. I woke from surgery and told Dr Vanek he is an angel, because he is. Five stars isn’t enough for this awesome surgeon. You also cannot find a more caring and attentive care team. Everyone in this office as well as the surgical team at Mentor Surgical Center get five+ stars from this happy Momma. - Alexis W.
I absolutely adore and admire Dr. Vanek for not only being a great plastic surgeon, but for how amazing he makes you feel from start to finish. Anything you want done, he will guide you through! He will ensure you have the best possible results while still maintaining your natural beauty, while no one really knows for sure what you’ve had done! I love the Halo laser treatments he offers. Not to mention his office looks more like a gorgeous spa than a surgeons office! It’s pristine! Cleaner than any doctor’s office I’ve ever been in! His staff is by far the most professional and competent people by far. Overall, I am OVERLY impressed with the results he’s achieved with me!
I don’t trust many people with my body or my face, Dr. Vanek is one of the few. Carly is his nurse practitioner, and she’s absolutely amazing as well! I can’t say enough good things about his whole staff!
There’s never any pressure to get something you don’t need. And the results keep me coming back! Now that I’m an adult, and in need of some tweaks here and there, I won’t go anywhere else!!!
Thank you for all you do, Dr. Vanek and staff! ❤️ - Jennifer
