Buccal Fat Extraction in Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner
About the clinic
Buccal fat extraction at the clinic of Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner in Istanbul helps patients achieve a more defined facial contour. This procedure removes excess fat pads from the cheeks to create a slimmer appearance. The surgery is performed in the Nişantaşı district, a central hub for medical care in Turkey.
The Procedure and Recovery
Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner performs buccal fat pad removal, also known as Bişektomi. He chooses between local or general anesthesia based on the patient's needs. The surgery allows for same-day discharge, so patients do not need to stay in the hospital overnight. Initial swelling usually goes away within 3 or 4 weeks. Most patients see their final facial shape after about 6 months of healing. It is common for each side of the face to heal at a different speed.
Post-Operative Care and Results
Success after surgery depends on careful aftercare and lifestyle choices. Patients must maintain strict oral hygiene to prevent infections since the incisions are inside the mouth. Dr. Güner advises patients to avoid smoking, as it slows down the healing process. Weight changes after the procedure can also affect the final look. The clinic provides follow-up appointments to monitor progress and offer reassurance during the recovery phase.
Customized Facial Contouring
Dr. Güner is an Assistant Professor at Nişantaşı University with extensive experience in aesthetic surgery. He has attended many international workshops and published research on various medical techniques. For patients who want a more dramatic change, he can combine buccal fat removal with superficial cheek liposuction. This combination helps treat a fuller face more effectively. Every procedure is tailored to the specific facial structure of the individual to maintain a natural look.
The clinic provides dedicated support for international guests through phone and messaging apps. You can request a consultation to learn more about facial contouring options on Bookimed.

Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner: more details about the clinic
Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner is a private plastic surgery practice in Istanbul's Nişantaşı district. The clinic focuses on aesthetic surgery and non-surgical beauty treatments. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner leads the medical team, offering surgical solutions for body contouring and facial rejuvenation.
Medical Expertise and Leadership
Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner heads this single-doctor practice. He specializes in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. He completed his medical education at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine and later trained at Bülent Ecevit University.
Two doctors oversee all patient care. Surgical appointments follow a pre-examination to determine the best approach. The clinic uses a patient-focused model for both surgical and minimally invasive procedures.
Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
The clinic performs surgical procedures for the body and face. Surgeons use 360 liposuction to target the abdomen, waist, and back at once. This treats multiple areas in one session for more balanced results.
Specialists offer several body and facial procedures:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Arm and thigh tightening
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
- Eyelid surgery
- Genital aesthetics including labiaplasty and vaginoplasty
Genital surgeries like vaginoplasty typically take 30–60 minutes. Healing is usually complete within 30 days. Most surgical patients leave the hospital within 24 hours.
Mammology and Breast Aesthetics
The clinic offers breast surgery options for women and men. Mastopexy (breast lift) is performed under general anesthesia to reshape sagging tissue. Reduction mammoplasty treats oversized breasts and the physical discomfort they cause.
Male patients can receive treatment for gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Surgeons use liposuction-based techniques to remove excess tissue in about one hour. For advanced cases with sagging skin, they remove a half-moon skin section. This keeps the scar hidden around the nipple.
Advanced Technologies and Methods
The clinic uses specific platforms to improve surgical outcomes and skin quality. Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells while protecting surrounding tissues. This reduces trauma and supports faster recovery.
For patients with loose skin, the clinic uses Renuvion J Plasma. This technology applies cold plasma to tighten skin on the arms, chin, or abdomen. It works alone or with liposuction to improve contouring results.
Non-surgical treatments are available for facial rejuvenation and sweating:
- Botox for dynamic wrinkles and excessive sweating
- PRP therapy for the face, hair, and hands
- Mesotherapy and collagen youth injections
- Facial fat transfer (lipofilling)
Post-Operative Recovery Support
The clinic provides detailed recovery protocols for safe healing. For liposuction and body contouring, patients follow a strict corset use plan. This means wearing the garment 20 hours daily during the first four weeks.
Patient guidance includes specific hygiene and safety steps:
- Showering is typically permitted one day after hospital discharge
- Regular drainage of seroma fluid helps prevent fluid buildup
- Massage supports tissue healing after liposuction
- Recovery plans are customized based on the volume of fat removed
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports patients traveling from outside Turkey through dedicated logistics. A specialized phone line handles requests and appointment scheduling for international visitors. Team members coordinate care before arrival via WhatsApp, phone, and email.
