Cheek Reduction

Cheek Reduction, also known as buccal fat removal or buccal lipectomy, is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the volume of the cheeks for a slimmer, more contoured facial appearance. Some people naturally have fuller cheeks due to genetics, even at a healthy weight, which can make the face appear rounder or less defined.

At Badge Health in Turkey, we offer personalized cheek reduction treatments designed to enhance facial harmony and highlight natural bone structure.

4 Steps to Your Transformation

Your dream appearance is closer than ever — guided by professionals and delivered through four simple, trusted steps.

What is Cheek Reduction?

Cheek reduction surgery removes excess buccal fat pads located in the lower cheeks. By reducing this volume, the face achieves a more sculpted and defined look, especially around the cheekbones and jawline.

  • Ideal candidates include individuals who:
  • Have naturally round or chubby cheeks
  • Desire more defined facial contours
  • Are at a stable weight but still have fuller cheeks
  • Seek permanent facial slimming results

How is Cheek Reduction Performed?

The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and relatively quick:

Consultation & Planning: Assessment of facial structure and desired results.

Anesthesia: Usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Incision & Fat Removal: A small incision is made inside the mouth, and excess buccal fat is carefully removed.

Closing the Incision: Sutures are placed inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars.

The surgery typically takes 30–60 minutes, and patients can return home the same day.

Advantages of Cheek Reduction

  • Slims and contours the face
  • Enhances cheekbone and jawline definition
  • Provides permanent results
  • Leaves no visible scars
  • Boosts confidence with a balanced facial profile
  • Minimally invasive with quick recovery

Recovery After Cheek Reduction

Recovery is generally smooth, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days. Post-surgery recommendations include:

  • Eating soft foods for the first few days
  • Maintaining proper oral hygiene to prevent infection
  • Avoiding strenuous activity for 1–2 weeks
  • Attending follow-up appointments as scheduled

Swelling typically resolves within 1–2 weeks, with final results visible in a few months.

Risks and Considerations

Cheek reduction is safe but, like any surgical procedure, carries some risks:

  • Temporary swelling or bruising
  • Mild discomfort inside the mouth
  • Risk of infection (minimized with proper care)
  • Rare asymmetry if not performed by an expert

At Badge Health, we ensure precision, safety, and natural results through advanced surgical methods.
