What is Bichectomy?
A bichectomy is a straightforward cosmetic surgical procedure for refining the mid to lower region of the face. Commonly known as the “Hollywood cheek,” a bichectomy involves the extraction of buccal fat pads from the cheeks. The procedure can help you achieve a slender, more chiselled facial profile and diminish the appearance of “chubby cheeks.”
Why Choose Bichectomy?
- Enhanced Facial Angles: The procedure gives you sharper, more pronounced cheekbones, adding definition to your face.
- Minimal Scarring Aesthetic Procedure: As the incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no visible scars on the cheeks, chin, or anywhere over the face.
The Bichectomy Procedure
- Entry Points: The surgeon will make a small cut inside your mouth, between your cheek and gums. This means no scars on the outside.
- Removing the Fat: The incision will be followed by carefully removing the fat pad from your cheek. They make sure not to disturb the area around it.
- Using a Laser: Sometimes, a laser is used to help remove the fat. This is done very accurately and does not harm the nearby tissues.
- Closing Up: The cut inside your mouth is closed with stitches that dissolve on their own. These stitches help you heal faster.
- Post-Surgery: You will get medicine to help with any pain you might feel. You’ll also get guidelines on how to manage this pain at home. You can expect some swelling in your face, but this will go away in about ten days. Most people can return to work within a week, depending on how they feel.
- Follow-Up: You will have more appointments with the surgeon to check on your healing.
