Buccal fat removal<\/a> is permanent, and because the face naturally loses fat with age, taking too much now can leave you looking gaunt later. So we remove conservatively \u2014 or reposition the fat to lift the cheekbones instead \u2014 and we’ll tell you plainly if your face is naturally slim enough that you don’t need it at all. It’s our “rejuvenation, not alteration” approach, and the procedure is usually done under local anaesthetic with our aftercare following you home to the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"treatment_name":"Buccal Fat Removal","_description":"Quick summary<\/strong>: The buccal fat removal cost in Turkey at AKM Clinic starts at \u00a31,650, against roughly \u00a32,500 to \u00a34,500 at a private UK clinic.
