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

I was a patient at academy clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you academy clinic so we will definitely see you soon.

I recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at academy clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at academy clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend academy clinic to anyone considering these procedures.
academy clinic was amazing! I had nurses with me 24/7 who were there to help me understand what was happening during the procedure! Dr. Sarper was very kind and has done 100 liposuctions! He never made me feel uncomfortable and made sure I understood what was best for my body! Highly recommend!
Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!
I wholeheartedly endorse this dental clinic for their exceptional patient-centered approach. Their quality of care is unmatched, accompanied by thorough explanations throughout the treatment process. They attentively address concerns, offer invaluable advice, and extend continuous support. Thanks to this clinic, my dental concerns are resolved, bringing immense happiness. I enthusiastically encourage everyone to experience their outstanding services!
Had a great experience from the minute i landed, everyone was very welcoming, made me feel at ease, can’t thank my 2 nurses enough from being in the hospital and hotel, kept reassuring me when was needed, especially being so far from home, definitely made the right choice with choosing academy clinic.. only thing i would say was hard was the language barrier but that’s excepted to come to there country, nothing google translate doesn’t help with x
Allora che dire di questa clinica
Sia dalla prima volta che li ho contattati fino al giorno che me ne sono andata da Istanbul
Tutto perfetto
Grazie a loro ho realizzato il mio sogno di rifarmi il seno risultato eccellente senza complicazioni lo staff ti assiste nei minimi dettagli e il dottor Mete ottimo professionista..
Cinque stelle sono poche da dare consiglio a tutti quelli che vogliono realizzare il proprio sogno.
I highly recommend academy clinic. From the beginning to the end they were really supportive! All nurses and doctors above and beyond professional. Me and my partner were treated like in 5 star hotel. I got much more than I expected. So happy to be here for my breast uplifting and enlargement. I wish to give them 10 out of 5 if I could. Really nice experience and I felt really safe. I just want to say thank you to all personel from a academy clinic!!
Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend academy clinic.🌸🌸🌸
I recently underwent a hair transplant at academy clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at academy clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and academy clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend academy clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.
Very good staff!! Even the cleaner was lovely and supportive, I was quite scared as I came alone but they made you feel comfortable at all times! And asked if you needed anything a lot! I would definitely recommend academy clinic. I’ve been in very very little pain and the procedure ran very smoothly! 10/10
My girlfriend had breast augmentation with Dr. Mete in May 2024, and it’s been 2 months. We really love the results. What a professional team! Thanks to my medical consultant, Joey, for helping us through everything.
I would like to firstly thank aleyna , irem and Nesrine for all their amazing support help and although so friendly but very professional. They made me feel part of The Badge family .. I also want to thank wonderful surgeon Muhammad Eren Șimșek he has done amazing. Feel a million dollars no pain but perfection. My second time now at the Badge and I will most certainly be back. Again from the beginning in contact with admin to flights to the driver to the hotel.. everything runs so smoothly and the people are just gorgeous. I literally will miss them. I’m so happy with the whole process❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

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.
