Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy)
Buccal Fat Removal in Turkey (Bichectomy) – Sculpt Your V-Shape
If you are considering Buccal Fat Removal in Turkey to achieve a more defined and sculpted facial appearance, you are in the right place. Even with a fit body, stubborn fat pockets deep within the cheeks—known as buccal fat pads—can create a “baby face” or “chipmunk” appearance that hides your true bone structure.
Dr. Rehber Marşil is a leading expert in Bichectomy in Turkey, offering a precise aesthetic procedure designed to gently remove this excess fat. The result involves highlighting your cheekbones and creating a sophisticated, elegant, and slimmer facial contour often referred to as the “Hollywood Cheek.”
What is Bichectomy (Buccal Fat Removal)?
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive facial contouring surgery that targets the Buccal Fat Pad, a naturally occurring fat mass located in the hollow area of the cheeks.
Unlike general weight loss which shrinks fat cells, this procedure permanently removes the fat cells from this specific area. The primary goal is not just to make the face thinner, but to create the coveted “V-Shape” aesthetic, making the face look more proportional and attractive.
Am I a Good Candidate?
This procedure is ideal for patients who want to transition from a round, soft face to a more defined, mature look. You may be a perfect candidate if:
Persistent Fullness: You have round, full cheeks despite being at a healthy body weight.
Hidden Structure: You want your cheekbones to pop but they are currently hidden by cheek fat.
Asymmetry: You have uneven facial volume and want better balance.
Desire for Definition: You are looking for a sharper, more sculpted lower face.
Complementary Needs: You are considering chin fillers or jawline contouring and want a comprehensive facial harmony.
Note: This procedure is generally not recommended for patients with very thin or gaunt faces.
Benefits: The "Hollywood Cheek" Effect
By expertly sculpting the cheek area, Dr. Marşil helps patients achieve dramatic yet natural-looking improvements:
Slimmer Profile: Transforms a round/square face into a more aesthetic V-shape.
Defined Cheekbones: Creates a natural shadow under the cheekbones (contour effect).
Mature Appearance: Replaces a “baby face” with a more elegant, adult facial structure.
Photogenic Angles: Significantly improves facial definition in photos and profiles (perfect for the selfie era).
Permanent Results: Once the fat pads are removed, they do not grow back.

Safety & Risks
Because the incision is inside the mouth, Bichectomy requires a surgeon with deep anatomical knowledge to avoid nerves and ducts. Dr. Rehber Marşil performs this surgery with high precision in a sterile environment.
Infection: Rare, provided you follow oral hygiene instructions (mouthwash) strictly.
Asymmetry: Prevented by careful pre-surgical planning.
Over-Resection: Dr. Marşil takes a conservative approach to ensure you don’t look “gaunt” or too hollow as you age. The goal is balance, not emptiness.
Sensory Changes: Temporary numbness inside the cheek is possible but usually resolves quickly.
