Overview
Buccal fat removal in Antalya reduces the rounded fullness in the lower cheeks by removing or reshaping the buccal fat pads. For the right candidate, it can create a more defined cheek contour and a slimmer, more sculpted mid-face. Dr. Duygu Aksoy assesses your facial proportions carefully, because conservative removal is key to a natural, age-appropriate result.
Is it right for you?
- You have full, rounded lower cheeks you would like to refine
- You would like more definition in the mid-face and cheek hollow
- You have good skin quality and stable facial volume
- You are in good general health with realistic expectations
How the procedure is performed
Buccal fat removal is usually performed under local anaesthesia, sometimes with light sedation, and typically takes around thirty to forty-five minutes. Dr. Aksoy makes a small incision inside the mouth, so there is no external scar, and carefully removes a measured amount of the buccal fat pad to refine the contour.
Recovery & timeline
Mild swelling is common for the first few days and a soft diet is usually advised briefly. Most people return to work within a few days. The final contour becomes clearer over several weeks to a few months as swelling fully resolves.
Results
The procedure aims to create a subtly slimmer, more defined cheek contour that typically looks natural and balanced. Results vary with facial structure, and a conservative approach helps protect a healthy appearance over time.
