Buccal fat removal at Toke Medical Center
Targeted cheek slimming — standalone or paired with lower-face contouring for a stronger, more sculpted result.
Partial removal of the buccal fat pads through a hidden intraoral incision — slimming the lower cheeks and defining the cheekbones with permanent results.
Paired with chin definition or jawline refinement when the goal is a more complete lower-face transformation — in a single procedure and recovery.
A precise, minimally invasive surgical procedure that permanently slims the lower cheeks and accentuates the cheekbones — with no external scars.
Buccal fat removal at Toke Medical Center is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation by European-trained aesthetic surgeons with 15+ years of experience. Through a tiny incision inside the mouth, the buccal fat pads are carefully and partially removed — preserving enough to avoid an overly gaunt appearance with age. Most international patients schedule a single 30–60 minute session, recover for 7–14 days, and see the final refined contour over 3–6 months — saving up to 70% versus comparable procedures in the USA and 60% versus UK and Western European clinics.

Everything you need to know about buccal fat removal
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal during recovery and well managed with prescribed medication and a soft-food diet for several days.
Most patients return to normal activities within 7–14 days. Initial swelling settles within the first 2 weeks. The final refined cheekbone contour appears over 3–6 months as residual swelling fully resolves.
The incision is made inside the mouth (intraoral) so there are no external scars at all. The internal incision heals quickly.
Results are permanent — the removed buccal fat pad does not regenerate. The defined cheekbone and slimmer lower-face contour is lasting, although natural ageing continues to affect overall facial volume.
Good candidates are generally healthy individuals with a rounder lower face who want more defined cheekbones and a slimmer profile. Importantly, buccal fat naturally diminishes with age — we may advise against the procedure if you’re very young or already have a narrow lower face, to avoid an overly gaunt long-term appearance.
Buccal fat removal in the United States typically costs $2,500–$5,000+; in the UK, £2,000–£4,500. At Toke Medical Center in Tirana, the same procedure is priced significantly lower — American patients typically save up to 70% versus US prices, and European patients save 60% on average. We provide a personalized quote with fully transparent pricing — no hidden fees.
