Sculpt Your Smile with Bichectomy in Turkey
We will help you get the perfect facial contours and make your dreams come true.
A bichectomy (buccal fat removal) in Turkey, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal of buccal fat pads from the cheeks. These fat pads are located in the lower part of the cheeks and can give a person a "baby face" or more rounded facial appearance. The goal of a bichectomy is to create a more sculpted, defined facial contour, particularly in the cheek area.
The procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon or a maxillofacial surgeon. It involves making a small incision inside the mouth, usually near the upper molars, and gently extracting a portion of the buccal fat pad. Because the incisions are inside the mouth, there are no visible scars on the face.
Buccal fat removal surgery can be combined with various other cosmetic procedures. The choice depends on the patient’s facial structure, aesthetic goals, and the surgeon's recommendations. Here are some common procedures:
-
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery):
- Purpose: To reshape the nose and bring it into better harmony with the rest of the face.
- Benefit: When combined with a bichectomy, it can balance facial proportions and enhance the overall facial profile.
-
Facelift:
- Purpose: To lift and tighten sagging skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Benefit: A facelift along with buccal fat removal can lead to a more youthful and contoured facial appearance.
-
Lip Augmentation:
- Purpose: To enhance the size and shape of the lips.
- Benefit: Helps in achieving a balanced facial symmetry with the newly contoured cheeks.
-
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery):
- Purpose: To remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids, addressing bags under the eyes or drooping eyelids.
- Benefit: Refreshes the eye area, complementing the facial rejuvenation achieved through buccal fat removal.
-
Brow Lift:
- Purpose: To raise sagging eyebrows and smooth forehead lines.
- Benefit: Enhances the upper face, creating a balanced rejuvenation when combined with mid-face procedures like bichectomy.
-
Neck Lift:
- Purpose: To address sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area.
- Benefit: Can provide a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation when combined with facial contouring procedures.

Description of the Procedure

Preparation for Bichectomy
Preparing for a bichectomy involves several important steps to ensure a safe procedure and optimal results. Here's a general guideline for preparation:
- Medical Evaluation: This may include a physical examination, blood tests, and a review of your medical history. Inform your surgeon about any medications, supplements, or herbal treatments you're taking, as some may need to be adjusted or stopped before surgery.
- Avoid Certain Substances: Stop smoking and avoid alcohol for at least a few weeks before and after the surgery, as these can impair healing process and increase the risk of complications.
- Healthy Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support healing.
- Positive Mindset: Maintain a positive and realistic mindset about the surgery and the recovery period.
Remember, each surgeon might have specific instructions based on their methods and your individual case, so it's important to follow the advice given by your healthcare provider.

Performing Bichectomy
Bichectomy surgery in Turkey is performed by a plastic or a maxillofacial surgeon. Depending on the patient's health, preferences, and the doctor’s recommendation, either local or general anesthesia is administered.
The surgeon makes a small incision (about 1 to 2 cm long) inside the mouth, typically opposite the upper molars. This approach ensures no visible scars are left on the face.
The buccal fat pad is located and gently teased out through the incision. The surgeon may apply pressure from the outside of the cheek to help expose the fat pad.
A precise amount of fat is removed. The amount varies depending on the patient’s facial structure and the desired outcome.
Then the incision inside the mouth is closed with sutures, usually with absorbable material that doesn’t require removal.

Frequently asked questions
WHY CHOOSE TURKEY FOR MY BICHECTOMY?
Choosing Turkey for your bichectomy has several advantages:
- Highly Qualified Surgeons: Turkey has many world-class plastic surgeons who are highly skilled and experienced in performing cosmetic procedures. These surgeons have international training and certifications.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to many Western countries, bichectomy prices in Turkey are more affordable without compromising on quality.
- Advanced Medical Facilities: Turkish hospitals are equipped with modern technology and adhere to international standards of healthcare.
- Cultural and Touristic Experience: Undergoing surgery in Turkey also gives an opportunity to experience the rich culture, history, and hospitality of the country.
- Care Packages: We offer all-inclusive packages for international patients. They include the surgery, hospital stay, postoperative care, and even accommodation and transportation.
HOW LONG DOES A BICHECTOMY PROCEDURE TAKE?
The procedure typically takes about one hour but can vary slightly depending on individual cases. The surgery is generally straightforward, but we take extra care to ensure precision and the best possible aesthetic outcome for each patient.
The recovery process is relatively quick. After the surgery, patients typically experience mild discomfort and swelling, which subsides within a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities within a week. However, it may take a few weeks to months for the final results to fully develop as the swelling diminishes.ARE THERE ANY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BICHECTOMY?
Like all surgical procedures, in Turkey bichectomy carries some risks, including infection, asymmetry, and reactions to anesthesia. However, these risks are minimized in the hands of our skilled surgeons.
We conduct a thorough pre-operative assessment to mitigate any potential complications and ensure a safe and effective procedure.WILL I HAVE SCARS AFTER THE SURGERY?
One of the advantages of bichectomy is the lack of visible scarring. The incisions are made inside the mouth, concealed within the natural creases, which means there are no external scars on the face following the procedure.
Although in Turkey bichectomy prices are less than in other countries, the quality of all procedures remain on a high level. You can check the results of our previous patients on our website and on Instagram to have no doubts about your decision.HOW CAN I UNDERSTAND THAT I NEED BICHECTOMY?
Ideal candidates for bichectomy are people in good overall health who have fuller lower cheeks and are seeking a more contoured facial appearance. During the consultation, our surgeons evaluate factors like facial structure, skin quality to determine if a bichectomy is suitable for achieving the desired aesthetic goals.
CAN BICHECTOMY CHANGE MY SMILE OR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS?
A bichectomy is to remove fat from the lower cheeks without affecting the muscles used for smiling or other facial expressions. Our surgeons use techniques that focus on preserving the natural function and appearance of your smile and expressions.
