Facial balance is one of those things you notice immediately, in yourself and in others. When features fall out of proportion, or when age changes the contours of your face, it can feel like the reflection in the mirror no longer matches how you see yourself inside. Facial contouring is about bringing harmony back to your features, restoring confidence, and helping you feel proud of your natural beauty again. At ARC Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Jeremy White offers a comprehensive approach to facial contouring, with both surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure.
At our premier center in Fort Lauderdale, patients benefit from the artistry and expertise of Dr. Jeremy White, a double board-certified plastic surgeon in both plastic surgery and ENT/facial plastics. His training gives him an advanced understanding of facial anatomy, so he can create beautiful results that enhance natural features while preserving healthy function.
What makes ARC Plastic Surgery different is the personalized care behind every treatment plan. Dr. White takes the time to determine each patient’s goals, discuss the full range of treatments, and craft a plan that feels achievable for your lifestyle and downtime. From facelifts to cheek implants to non-surgical options, the goal is always the same: natural-looking results that reflect who you are.
Facial contouring refers to the collection of surgical and non-surgical procedures that refine, reshape, or balance facial features. It might involve lifting loose skin, restoring lost volume, or improving the shape of specific features like the chin or cheeks. Some procedures, such as a facelift or buccal fat removal, create long-lasting changes through surgery. Others, like injectable fillers or skin-tightening devices, offer non-surgical refinement with less downtime. The right choice depends on your aesthetic goals, anatomy, and lifestyle needs.
A facelift addresses signs of aging in the lower face and midface, including loose skin, deep nasolabial folds, and loss of youthful volume. Dr. White’s technique focuses on carefully repositioning the underlying SMAS tissue for smoother contours and youthful results that don’t look “pulled.”
A neck lift tightens sagging tissue and smooths banding along the neck, restoring the clean line between chin and neck. It’s often paired with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
When fullness under the chin makes the face appear heavier, neck liposuction can remove fat and sharpen definition. This procedure is often performed under local anesthesia and allows patients to return to daily activities fairly quickly.
Sagging or puffy eyelids can create a tired, aged appearance. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin and repositions fat to brighten the eyes, restore a rested look, and improve confidence.
Fat grafting uses your own fat tissue to restore fullness in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. Facial Fat Gradting helps smooth hollows and soften sharp transitions, giving the face a more balanced appearance.
A chin implant enhances projection and balance, improving weak or recessed chins. When combined with other procedures, it can dramatically reshape the facial profile.
Buccal fat removal reduces fullness in the lower cheeks to refine facial structure. When performed carefully and with restraint, it creates slimmer contours while preserving natural softness.
For patients who prefer to avoid surgery, injectable fillers, Botox, and energy-based skin treatments can provide subtle contouring. These treatments smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and improve definition without the recovery period associated with surgery.
The full range of facial contouring treatments offers a number of benefits for patients seeking to refine their appearance.
Skin naturally loses elasticity over time, especially in the lower face and neck, and a facelift or neck lift can tighten these areas.
Fullness in the midface and cheeks is often lost with age. Fat grafting or injectable fillers can restore volume and create youthful results.
Even small imbalances between features can affect overall appearance. Procedures like a chin implant or cheek implants help bring balance and harmony to your facial structure.
Excess fat under the chin or along the jawline can make patients appear older or heavier. Neck liposuction or non-surgical contouring treatments can refine these areas.
Sagging eyelids and under-eye hollows make patients look fatigued. Blepharoplasty or fat grafting can restore brightness and openness to the eyes.
Buccal fat removal targets excess cheek fullness to create a slimmer, more sculpted look.
During your consultation, Dr. White will assess your facial anatomy, listen to your goals, explain your treatment options, and answer any questions you may have. Preparation may involve lab testing, adjusting the medications you're taking, or avoiding certain supplements to reduce bleeding risk. Patients are given clear instructions so they feel comfortable and in control before their procedure.
Facial procedures vary in length and complexity. Minor treatments may be performed with a local anesthetic, while more comprehensive surgeries use general anesthesia. Depending on your plan, surgery can take one to several hours. Dr. White’s precision ensures incisions are placed discreetly, scarring is minimized, and recovery is as smooth as possible.
Recovery depends on the treatment. Swelling and bruising are expected but temporary. Most patients can return to light daily activities within a week, with full results visible once healing is complete. To maintain outcomes, patients should protect their skin from sun exposure, avoid smoking, and follow all aftercare instructions. ARC Plastic Surgery emphasizes compassionate care, guiding patients through each step of the healing process.
Facial contouring costs depend on the specific procedures, anesthesia, and facility fees. At ARC Plastic Surgery, every quote is personalized and transparent, covering surgical fees, anesthesiology, and follow-up visits. Prices in Fort Lauderdale may differ from other markets, but patients can expect clear communication and no hidden costs.
At ARC Plastic Surgery, the philosophy is simple: celebrate natural beauty through personalized care. Dr. White and his team take the time to truly get to know patients, understanding their aesthetic goals, their lifestyle, and their comfort level. Patients describe the practice as warm and welcoming, with follow-up care that extends months after surgery. It’s not about rushing patients through procedures; it’s about creating balanced outcomes and restoring confidence. With double board certification, national publications, and the trust of other surgeons, ARC Plastic Surgery remains one of South Florida’s premier centers for facial and body contouring.
