Do you have naturally full, round cheeks that make your face appear wider or "chubby," even when the rest of your body is lean? This fullness is often due to prominent buccal fat pads—deposits of fat located deep within the lower cheek area. For many, these buccal fat pads create a persistent "baby face" that can detract from a desired chiseled, contoured facial aesthetic.
At Visit Plus Care, we offer expert Buccal Fat Removal (Cheek Reduction) in Turkey, a subtle yet highly effective procedure designed to sculpt the lower cheeks, enhance the cheekbones, and create a more defined, mature facial silhouette. Our board-certified surgeons in Istanbul specialize in delivering refined and natural-looking results that align with your unique facial structure.
Buccal Fat Removal is a minor surgical procedure that permanently reduces the size of the buccal fat pads in the cheeks. By carefully removing a portion of this deep-seated fat, the procedure creates a more hollowed, defined look in the mid-to-lower face.
Minimal Incisions: The surgery is performed via small, discreet incisions made inside the mouth (on the inner lining of the cheek). This means there are absolutely no visible external scars.
Precise Fat Excision: The surgeon gently presses on the outside of the cheek to expose the buccal fat pad through the internal incision. A controlled amount of fat is then carefully removed.
Quick Closure: The internal incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
Buccal Fat Removal requires a keen artistic eye to remove just the right amount of fat to avoid an overly gaunt appearance in the future. Our surgeons at Visit Plus Care are renowned for their ability to create balanced, natural-looking results that enhance your existing facial features.
The entire procedure takes only about 30 to 45 minutes and is typically performed under local anesthesia. This quick and efficient approach means:
Minimal Discomfort: Patients experience very little pain during and after the procedure.
Fast Recovery: You can often return to light activities on the same day.
Your comfort and peace of mind are our priority. Our comprehensive packages include:
Personalized Consultation: To determine if you are an ideal candidate and discuss your aesthetic goals.
VIP Transfers: Seamless private transportation between the airport, your 5-star hotel, and the clinic.
Dedicated Aftercare: Our team provides all necessary post-operative instructions and support.
You may be an excellent candidate for Buccal Fat Removal if you:
Have naturally full, round cheeks that persist despite weight loss.
Desire a more chiseled and defined cheekbone and jawline area.
Are in good general health and a non-smoker.
Have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
Note: This procedure is generally not recommended for individuals with naturally thin faces, as it could lead to an overly hollowed appearance over time.
Permanent Results: The buccal fat pads do not typically grow back once removed.
Enhanced Cheekbones: Creates a more sculpted look by making your cheekbones appear more prominent.
Defined Jawline: Contributes to a sharper transition between the cheek and jawline.
Youthful Aging: Reduces the likelihood of "jowls" forming in the lower face as you age, as there is less fat to sag.

Upon arrival in Istanbul, you will have a detailed consultation with your surgeon to finalize your treatment plan. The procedure is usually performed on the same day or the next, allowing for a focused and efficient trip.
Days 1-3: Expect some swelling and mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. You will be on a liquid or soft diet initially.
Weeks 1-2: Most initial swelling subsides. You can typically return to normal social activities within a week.
Months 3-6: The final, chiseled results gradually become apparent as all residual swelling resolves.
1. Is Buccal Fat Removal painful? No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and easily managed.
2. Are there any visible scars? No. All incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no external scars.
3. How long do I need to stay in Turkey? Since Buccal Fat Removal is a minor procedure, most patients only need to stay in Istanbul for 2-3 days to allow for the procedure and a quick follow-up before flying home.
4. Can this be combined with other procedures? Yes. Buccal Fat Removal is frequently combined with other facial procedures such as Liposuction of the chin (Submental Liposuction), Chin Augmentation, or even Rhinoplasty for a more comprehensive facial contouring.
