Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy)

Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy) – Sculpt Your Cheekbones for a Defined Look

Buccal fat removal, also known as bichectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the contours of the face by removing the buccal fat pads (located in the cheek area). This treatment is ideal for individuals who want to achieve a slimmer, more V-shaped facial profile while highlighting their cheekbones.

Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal

  • Achieve a slimmer, more sculpted facial contour.
  • Highlight cheekbones for an elegant and defined appearance.
  • Enhance facial symmetry and balance.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Bichectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that typically takes 30-45 minutes.

  • It is performed under local or general anesthesia.
  • Small incisions are made inside the cheeks, leaving no external scars.
  • The buccal fat pads are carefully removed, and the incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal?

This procedure is suitable for individuals who:

  • Naturally have fuller or rounder cheeks and wish to refine their facial contours.
  • Are in good overall health.
  • Seek a permanent solution to achieve a more sculpted facial appearance.

Recovery Process

  1. First Few Days After Surgery:

    • Some mild swelling and discomfort in the cheek area may occur, subsiding within a few days.
    • Patients can return to their daily activities the day after surgery, but intense physical activity should be avoided for about a week.
  2. By Days 7-10:

    • Swelling begins to subside, and any discomfort resolves.
    • Normal eating habits can resume, though very hot or spicy foods should be avoided in the first few days.
  3. Within 4 Weeks Post-Procedure:

    • Results become more noticeable as the swelling continues to diminish.
    • The face gradually adopts a slimmer, more refined appearance.
  4. Final Results:

    • The full effect is typically visible within 3 months as the tissues fully adapt to the new contours.
